John Denver - Catch another butterfly

^ADo you remember days not so ^Every long ^Aago When the ^F#world was run by ^Bmpeople twice your s^Eize And the ^Adays were full of ^Dlaughter and the ^Enights were full of ^Astars ^AAnd when you grew tired you could close your eyes

^AYes the stars were were there for wishing and the wind was there for kites And the ^F#mmorning sun was ^Bmthere for rise and shine ^E And ^Aeven in the ^Dsniffles kept you ^Ehome from school in ^Abed You ^Bmcouldn't hardly ^Astay there after nine ^A

And I ^Bmwonder if the ^Asmell of morning's faded ^F#mWhat happened ^Bmto the ^Arobin's ^Esong that sparkled in the sky ^AWhere's all the water gone that ^Dtumbled down the stream ^{A A}Will I ever catch another butterfly

Do you r^Aemember campouts right in your own backyard And ^F#wondering how ^Bmairplanes could ^Efly And the ^Ahours spent just ^Dplaying with a ^Afunny rock you found With ^Bmcrystal specks as ^Ablue as all the sky

And I ^Bmwonder if the ^Asmell of morning's faded ^F#mWhat happened ^Bmto the ^Arobin's ^Esong that sparkled in the sky ^AWhere's all the water gone that ^Dtumbled down the stream ^{A A}Will I ever catch another butterfly

Yes, the ^Adays were each a treasure as they blended into years The ^F#mmemories that ^Bmcome so sharp and ^Eplain And ^Awhile we were enjoying these ^Dmoments, did we ^Amourn That to^Bmday would never ^Acome this way again

And I ^Bmwonder if the ^Asmell of morning's faded ^F#mWhat happened ^Bmto the ^Arobin's ^Esong that sparkled in the sky ^AWhere's all the water gone that ^Dtumbled down the stream ^{A A}Will I ever catch another butterfly

Now I ^Awatch my son,^F#m he's ^Eplaying with his ^Atoys He's ^Ahappy ^F# and I ^Bmgive him all I ^Acan But I ^Acan't help feeling ^Djust a little ^Etingling inside ^A When I ^Ahear him say, he wants to be a man

^AAnd I ^Dwonder if the ^Dsmell of ^Emorning's ^Afaded ^AWhat ^Bmhappened to the ^Erobin's song that ^Bmsparkled in the ^Esky ^AWhere's all the water gone that ^Dtumbled down the stream ^{A A}Will I ^Gever catch an^Eother butter^Afly ^AWill I ^Bmever catch an^Aother butterfly
