Lyrics and Chords
-----------------


Intro: G  Bm  C  G  C+g  [G Em] [A7 D7] [G  D7]


Verse 1:
-------

G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C+g              [G      Em]      A7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land
        D7
called Honah Lee,
G             Bm    C                 G
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
    C+g                     [G      Em]
And brought him strings and sealing wax and
[A7   D7]   [G   D7]
other fancy stuff. Oh


Chorus:
------

G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C+g             [G      Em]       A7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land
        D7
called Honah Lee,
G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C+g             [G      Em]
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a
[A          D7]      G 
land called Honah Lee.


Verse 2:
-------

Together they would travel on a boat with
billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s
gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever
they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags when
Puff roared out his name. oh!

Chorus

Verse 3:
-------

Dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant things make way
for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper
came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased
his fearless roar.

Verse 4:
-------

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales
fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the
cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could
not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon, he slipped
into his cave. oh!
