Emin Dmaj Cmaj
Came along with the crystal eyes
Emin Dmaj Gmaj
And a smile that would shine for days
Emin Dmaj Cmaj
And I could see that her heart was strong
Emin Dmaj Gmaj
So much kindness in her face
Emin Dmaj Cmaj
And patiently she took my hand
Emin Dmaj Gmaj
And gently held the space
Emin Dmaj Cmaj
Like a cherry blossom
Emin Dmaj Gmaj
She would silently radiate

Emin Dmaj Gmaj

Emin Dmaj Gmaj
Fly me high, butterfly
Emin Dmaj Gmaj
Fly me gently to the sky
Emin Dmaj Gmaj
Fly me high, butterfly
Emin Dmaj Gmaj
Fly me gently to the sky
Verse 2:
(Same as verse 1)
Came along when my hands were tied
And I knew I just had to wait
Lick my wounds, rebuild my pride
Leave the seed to germinate
See it needed sun and it needed rain
And a love I could not locate
I trusted time and I trusted fire
Because I learned to trust in fate
Chorus:
Fly me high, butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high, butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Fly me high butterfly
Fly me gently to the sky
Bridge:
(Strumming)
Cmaj Dmaj Emin Dmaj Cmaj
Beneath the canopy of the jungle when I saw her face
Cmaj Dmaj Emin Dmaj Cmaj
To the belly of the animals on with its centipedes and snakes
Cmaj Dmaj Gmaj
Shipibo's song will never fade

Verse 3:
(same as verse 1 but end on Gmaj)
Can't find the road no more
When you cannot find your way
The candle burns out before you reach your destination
You can't find the strength inside
To keep on with your days
The answer lies deep inside the natural mystic from which we came
