[C] But was born on a beautiful [Em] morning [F] and I felt [C] very proud _ _
[F] Let's just say [Em] it's not [Am] every day [D] that you see me cry [A] out loud
_ [G] _
[C] hair like sunshine smiles warm
[F] And the prettiest I'm too fine
[C] _
[F] One day last spring [Em] my lady [Am] and I [Dm] found out [G] those [C] eyes were blind _
_ _ [Am] Save a butterfly for me [Em] daddy
_ [Dm] They sound [G] so pretty [C] to [A] me
[E] [Am] Tell me about
[Em] _ [A] Butterflies [Dm] and all [G] the things you [C] see
[Em] Well [F] _ _ [G] _ _
[C] over there, but lies a beautiful meadow
[F] with the colors of gold and tan
[C] the [F] smell of hay [Em] and the sound [Am] of crickets
[D] Here buck take [F] my hand
[G]
[C] And I wish you could see [Em] that big oak tree _
[F] It's them reaching up to the [A] sky
[G] _
[F] And a bed of flowers [Em] growing at its feet [Am] _
[Dm] and a big [G] yellow [C] butterfly _ _
Save _ _ [Am] a butterfly for me [Em] daddy
_ [Dm] Before [G] they [C] disappear

[C] _ _ [Em] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
[C#] _ _ [Fm] _ [F#] Act _ [G#] _ _
[C#] of our bags and our hopes and [Fm] our dreams [F#] and we all went to town that day [G#] I
[F#] Sneaked off to the hospital [Fm] chapel.
_ [A#m] _
[D#m] I
Got down on [G#] my knees [C#] and I pray _ _
_ _ Save [A#m] a butterfly for my [Fm] boy
_ Gosh, [D#m] you [G#] mean nothing for [C#] me
[A#m] _ Send an angel of joy to [Fm] touch him
[A#] _ [D#m] The way [G#] that he's [C#] touched me
_ [F#] _ _ [G#] _ _
[D] _ _ [F#m] _ [G] Now _ [A] _ _
[D] there are things in this universe that [G] we just don't understand
_ [A] And [G] through an open window came a [F#m] butterfly [Bm] _
[E] to land on but small [B] head

[A] But [G] the light was in my [F#m] boy's face
[Bm] _
[Em] Daddy, [A] he said [D] I can see _ _
Save _ [Bm] a butterfly for us [F#m] Bucky
_ _ [Em] We're all [A] so blind it [D] _ [F#] seems
[Bm] That we've not seen [F#m] the magic
[B] in [Em] the power of
