Chorus:

G+G       D MajorD
The last, the very last,
  C majorC         D MajorD       D MajorD
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
G+G       C majorC         D MajorD
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
        G+G
against a white stone...

Verse 1:

G+G      C majorC
Such, such a yellow
  D MajorD            G+G
Is carried lightly ‘way up high.
G+G          C majorC      D MajorD
It went away I'm sure because it wished
             G+G
to kiss the world goodbye.


Chorus:

  G+G     D MajorD
The last, the very last,
  C majorC         D MajorD       D MajorD
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
G+G       C majorC         D MajorD
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
        G+G
against a white stone...


Verse 2:

G+G          C majorC
For seven weeks I've lived in here,
    D MajorD       G+G         D MajorD        D MajorD
Penned up inside this ghetto But I have found my people here.
G+G        C majorC         D MajorD            G+G     C majorC
The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut candles in the court.
    D MajorD           G+G
Only I never saw another butterfly.


Chorus:

  G+G     D MajorD
The last, the very last,
  C majorC         D MajorD       D MajorD
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
G+G       C majorC         D MajorD
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
        G+G
against a white stone...


Outro:

   G+G        C majorC
That butterfly was the last one.
C majorC         D MajorD    G+G
Butterflies don't live in here,
