Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

F# C# F# C#

VERSE:

F#
Somewhere in Montana,
B                   F#
A butterfly got its wings;
     B               F#
Went flying past the blue bird,
    G#m            C#
And she started to sing.
    F#
Her sweet song filled the meadow,
          D#   C#       B
Like some lonesome lullubye;
G#m               B
All because of a butterfly.

F# B F# C#

VERSE:

    F#
The fireflies started dancing,
    B             F#
The wind began to blow.
   B                       F#
A couple kids filled their mason jars,
    G#m                C#
And ran like hell back home.
        F#                           D#             C#     B
And the happy on their faces brought tears to their mama's eyes;
G#m    B               F#
All because of a butterfly.


CHORUS:

             B
We don't know how,
         F#           C#            B
All the little things lead up to right now.
       F#                 C#
But we muddle through and make it here.
   D#m                 C#
Somehow, when one door closes,
 B                 F#
Another one swings open.
    G#m                F#                   B
The smallest thing can come and change your life.
G#m        C#              F#
Oh, thank God for a butterfly.

B F# C#

VERSE:

F#
Late last night I was thinking about,
   B                F#
My long and winding road.
        B          F#
All the love had I taken,
    G#m7          C#
And people I let go.
        F#
All the prayers that went unanswered,
      D#     C#        B
And I always wondered why.
           G#m     B            F#
Guess it's all because a butterfly.

CHORUS:

             B
We don't know how,
         F#           C#            B
All the little things lead up to right now.
       F#                 C#
But we muddle through and make it here.
   D#m                 C#
Somehow, when one door closes,
 B                 F#
Another one swings open.
    G#m                F#                   B
The smallest thing can come and change your life.
G#m        C#              D#m C#
Oh, thank God for a butterfly.

BRIDGE:

     B                 F#               G#m
Sometimes when I look back and close my eyes,
C#                              B
I finally see why we don't know how,
        F#            C#               B
All the little things lead up to right now.
       F#                 C#
Oh, we muddle through and make it here.
D#m                    C#
Somehow, when one door closes,
 B                 F#
Another one swings open.
    G#m                F#                   B
The smallest thing can come and change your life.
G#m       C#
Oh, thank God,
      F#     B  F#
For a butterfly.
       C#             F#  B     F# C#  F#
Thank God for a butterfly. (Ohh)
