Songs For My Own Enjoyment: Puff The Magic Dragon G

G              D       

Puff the magic dragon  

C            G     

lived by the sea,  

    C                G      Em    

And frolicked in the autumn mist  

     A7                D7    

in a land called Honah Lee,  

G             D      

Little Jackie Paper  

C                 G      

loved that rascal Puff,  

    C                   

And bought him strings  

    G       Em       

and sealing wax and  

A7    D7    G      D7   

Other fancy stuff. Oh!  

G              D       

Puff the magic dragon  

C            G    

lived by the sea  

    C                G      Em    

And frolicked in the autumn mist  

     A7               D7    

in a Land called HonahLee,  

G              D       

Puff the magic dragon  

C            G    

lived by the sea  

    C                G      Em    

And frolicked in the autumn mist  

     A7          D7    G     

in a Land called Honah Lee.  

G                   D       

Together they would travel  

     C                  G      

on a boat with billowed sail,  

C             G        Em       

Jackie kept a look out perched  

   A7              D7     

on Puff's gigantic tail,  

G               D        

Noble kings and princes  

      C                  G      

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       

Puff the magic dragon  

C            G    

lived by the sea  

    C                G      Em    

And frolicked in the autumn mist  

     A7                D7    

in a Land called Honah Lee,  

G              D       

Puff the magic dragon  

C            G    

lived by the sea  

    C                G      Em    

And frolicked in the autumn mist  

     A7          D7    G     

in a Land called Honah Lee.  

G                  D     

A Dragon Lives for ever  

    C             G      

but not so little boys.  

C                 G     Em     

Painted wings and giant rings  

     A7            D7     

make way for other toys,  

G                 D          

One grey night it happened,  

       C             G          

Jackie Paper came no more. And  

C                G       Em  

Puff that mighty dragon, he  

A7         D7       G     D7 

Ceased his fearless roar.   

    G                D       

His head was bent in sorrow  

      C                G      

green scales fell like rain,  

C              G       Em    

Puff no longer went to play  

A7               D7    

along the cherry lane  

     G                D       

With-out his lifelong friend  

C                 G          

Puff could not be brave. So  

C                G       

Puff that mighty dragon  

Em    A7         D7     G     D7   

sadly slipped in to his cave. Oh!  

G              D       

Puff the magic dragon  

C            G    

lived by the sea  

    C                G      Em    

And frolicked in the autumn mist  

     A7                D7    

in a Land called Honah Lee,  

G              D       

Puff the magic dragon  

C            G    

lived by the sea  

    C                G      Em    

And frolicked in the autumn mist  

     A7          D7    G     

in a Land called Honah Lee.
