Capo: 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
Butterfly (Acoustic) by Jason Mraz Capo 3
From the Album "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things"
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKc0Z9EoH3A)
Be sure to listen to the song to learn the strum pattern. Jason Mraz likes to syncopate his lyrics with a
rhytmic guitar strum and this specific acoustic version takes liberties during the held chords.
The chord C#m7* specifies that the chord should be played on the higher bar chord if possible (Fret 11)
Have fun with it!
(Sidenote, this version's chorus meshes really well with "Just the Two of Us" by Bill Withers)
[Verse 1]
C#m7I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm dancin' with F#m7you
I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your G#m7shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to tF#m7urn me on until I write a G#7song about C#m7you
And you have your own G#m7engaging sF#m7tyle
And you've got the knack to vG#m7ivify
And you make my slacks a little tight, you may uF#m7nfasten them if you like
That's if you cG#7rash and spend the night

But you don't F#m7fold, you don't G#m7fade
You've got eC#m7verything you need, especially F#m7me
