C               Em       F              C      
Puff the magic   dragon   lived by the   sea,  
     F                C      Am        D7                G7     
And  frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah  Lee,  
C             Em     F                  C       
Little Jackie  Paper  loved that rascal  Puff,  
    F                       C         Am       
And  bought him strings and  sealing  wax and  
D7    G7     C       G7    
Other  fancy  stuff.  Oh!  
   
Chorus:
C              Em      F             C     
Puff the magic  dragon  lived by the  sea  
    F                C        Am        D7               G7    
And frolicked in the  autumn  mist in a Land called HonahLee,  
C              Em      F             C     
Puff the magic  dragon  lived by the  sea  
    F                C      Am        D7          G7    C     
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a Land called Honah Lee.  
   
C                   Em           F                   C       
Together they would  travel on a  boat with billowed  sail,  
F             C         Am7         D7               G7      
Jackie kept a  look out  perched on  Puff's gigantic  tail,  
C               Em             F                   C       
Noble kings and  princes would  bow when e're they  came,  
F                  C            Am7         
Pirate ships would  low'r their  flag when  
D7          G7       C      G7    
Puff roared  out his  name.  Oh!  
-Chorus
   
C                  Em        F             C      
A Dragon Lives for  ever but not so little boys.  
F                 C      Am7         D7             G7      
Painted wings and  giant  rings make  way for other  toys,  
C                 Em                F              C           
One grey night it  happened, Jackie  Paper came no  more. And  
F                C        Am7  
Puff that mighty  dragon,  he  
D7          G7        C      G7 
 Ceased his  fearless  roar.   
   
    C                Em            F                 C      
His head was bent in  sorrow green  scales fell like rain,  
F              C        Am7   D7                G7     
Puff no longer  went to  play  along the cherry  lane  
     C                Em      F                  C           
With-out his lifelong  friend  Puff could not be  brave. So  
F                C       Am7    D7          G7      C       G7    
Puff that mighty  dragon  sadly  slipped in  to his  cave.   Oh!  
-Chorus
   
Optional HAPPY verse from Tom Lockhart
C                       Em          F                 C      
Jackie Paper heard that  Puff would  not come out his cave,  
   F            C               Am7 D7               G7      
He did not like  Puff being sad  he  liked him to be  brave  
   C                  Em          F                 C      
He called next day to  visit and   Puff came out to  play  
         F                C      Am        D7          G7    C       G7    
And they frolicked in the autumn mist in a Land called Honah Lee.     Oh!  
-Chorus
