Key:
| G | D | A | D | [Chorus]
D Your butterfly love, just flutters around
A7 From flower to flower, drops the
D heads to the ground
D Their leaves just fall and wither and die
A7 When your butterfly love, comes
D driftin' by [Verse 1]
A I found out just what it is, that
D you like most of all
F# G To take a little honey, then let
D our poor hearts fall
A D How I got mixed up in this, I guess I'll never know
G D I would like to clip your wings
A D and then tell you no [Chorus]
D Your butterfly love, just flutters around
A7 From flower to flower, drops the
D leaves to the ground
D Their leaves just fall and wither and die
Continues after the ad
A When your butterfly love, comes
D driftin' by [Bridge]
D7 G D I'm just one of a hundred
A D flowers, waitin' for your butterfly love [Break]
| G | D | A7 | D | [Verse 2]
A I grew here in a garden, with a
D hundred more or so
F# I never dream my fate would come,
G D from a love like yours to know
A7 Every time I see your wings,
D a-floatin' in the breeze I know I'm helpless and you come and
A D go, just as you please [Chorus]
D Your butterfly love, just flutters around
A7 From flower to flower, drops the
D leaves to the ground
D Their leaves just fall and wither and die
A A7 When your butterfly love, comes
D driftin' by [Verse 3]
A I'll need a net to catch you and
D when I finally do
F#m I'll make you taste of bitter love,
G D the kind I got from you
A D I'll take a hundred others and love them one by one
G And you can watch just like I did,
A D then I'll have all the fun [Chorus]
D With butterfly love, that flutters around
A7 From flower to flower, drops the
D heads to the ground
D D/G Their leaves just fall and wither and die
D A7 When your butterfly love, comes
D driftin' by [Coda]
G D I'm just one of a hundred flowers,
A D waitin' for your butterfly love
