• Capo on 1st

Key: Ab

Tuning: Standard

🎸 Intro:

N.C.
Three white butterflies to
            D
know you're near



🎸 Verse :

D

I know they think that it

took somebody else
           Am
To make me beautiful, beautiful
   G
As they intended me to be
             D
But they're wrong
D
I know they think that

it took thousands of people
            Am
To put me together again

like an experiment
     G
Some big men behind the scenes

Sewing Frankenstein
                     D
black dreams into my songs
             D
But they're wrong


🎸 Chorus:

C
 God, if you'rе near me
G
send mе three white butterflies
      D
Or an owl to know know you're listening,

sitting while I'm drinking
 C
Grandfather, please stand on the
G
shoulders of my father
           D
While he's deep-sea fishing for sharks

 in the Pacific


🎸 Bridge:

           C
'Cause I'm good in spirit, warm-bodied
  G                            D
A fallible deity wrapped up in white

(Oh-oh)
    C
I'm folk
I'm jazz
I'm blue
I'm green
   G                        D
Regrettably, also a white woman

(Oh-oh)
          C                     G
But I have good intentions even if
                     D
 I'm one of the last ones
               C
If you don't believe me, my poetry
G
or my melodies
                D
Feel it in your bones
      C                      G
I have good intentions, even if
                    D
I'm one of the last ones
     C              G
(Ah-ah-ah, yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah
D
ah-ah-ah, yeah, mm)

🎸 Chorus:

 C
Grandfather, please stand on
    G
the shoulders of my father
           D
While he's deep-sea fishing for

all the things he's wishing
C
 God, if you're near me
G
send me three white butterflies
     D
Or a map to know you're fishing,

impart on me Your wisdom


🎸 Post-Chorus:

        G
It took somebody else to
         Am7
make me beautiful, wonderful
   G
As they intended me to be
             D
But they're wrong

D D Am Am
G G D  D

Three white butterflies to

know you're near
