G              D      C            G     
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea,  
    C                G      Em        A7                D7    
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,  
G             D     C                 G      
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,  
    C                      G       Em       
And bought him strings and sealing wax and  
A7    D7    G      D7   
Other fancy stuff. Oh!  
   
G              D      C            G    
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea  
    C                G      Em        A7               D7    
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a Land called HonahLee,  
G              D      C            G    
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea  
    C                G      Em        A7          D7    G     
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a Land called Honah Lee.  
   
G                   D           C                  G      
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail,  
C             G        Em         A7              D7     
Jackie kept a look out perched on Puff's gigantic tail,  
G               D             C                  G      
Noble kings and princes would bow when e're they came,  
C                  G           Em         
Pirate ships would low'r their flag when  
A7          D7      G     D7   
Puff roared out his name. Oh!  
   
G              D      C            G    
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea  
    C                G      Em        A7                D7    
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a Land called Honah Lee,  
G              D      C            G    
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea  
    C                G      Em        A7          D7    G     
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a Land called Honah Lee.  
   
G                  D        C             G      
A Dragon Lives for ever but not so little boys.  
C                 G     Em         A7            D7     
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys,  
G                 D                C             G          
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more. And  
C                G       Em  
Puff that mighty dragon, he  
A7         D7       G     D7 
Ceased his fearless roar.   
   
    G                D            C                G      
His head was bent in sorrow green scales fell like rain,  
C              G       Em   A7               D7    
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane  
     G                D      C                 G          
With-out his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave. So  
C                G      Em    A7         D7     G     D7   
Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped in to his cave. Oh!  
   
G              D      C            G    
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea  
    C                G      Em        A7                D7    
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a Land called Honah Lee,  
G              D      C            G    
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea  
    C                G      Em        A7          D7    G     
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a Land called Honah Lee.
