Poor Butterfly chords by Fats Waller

Guitar chords with lyrics

D   Cdim  G/E A7            Gdim      D  D7M Bm
Poor Butterfly    'neath the blossoms waiting
     D6     F#7                   B7
Poor Butterfly, for she loved him so.
    B7       E7        A9         A7    D         D9     Bm
The moments pass into hours, the hours pass into years
   Bm7/A   E4/7                  E7   Em7     G/B    A4/7     A7
And as she smiles through her tears,    she murmurs low
D   Cdim    G/E  A7            Gdim      D      D7M  Bm
The moon and I       know that he'll be faithful
     D6             F#7          B7
I'm sure he'll come back, by and by
           Em7                     Gm    D      D7M
But if he don't come back, then I never sigh or cry
D  Fdim     Em7  A7       G/B A7 D
I just must die.     Poor Butterfly
