Butterfly - By Weezer (Rivers Cuomo)
------------------------------------
As performed on their second album, Pinkerton (track 10).
Tabbed by Mark Carroll (rcarroll@axionet.com).
Okay, Weezer fans, time to get down and dirty.
Here's the chords and my own bastardization of the lyrics.
Some of this is pulled from when I saw them in concert here in
Vancouver (as in B.C., Canada). By the way, if you get a
chance to see a live show, do it. It is an incredible experience.
Anyway, on with the song.

Verse 1:
GYesterEmday I went outCside
D? G
With my Mother's Mason jar

Looked in on my fairy pet
Em C *
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her bD7reast
Chorus:
I'm sorry for what I dGid
I did wEmhat my body toCld me to
I diDdn't mean to do you hGarm
Every tG7ime I pin down wChat I think I wDant
It slips aGway
And Emoh it slips aC5way
Verse 2:
Smell you on my hands for days
Couldn't wash away the scent
I'm a dog and you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
To excite my fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly
Chorus
Verse 3:
GI told yEmou that I'd rCeturn
D? G
When the robin builds his nest
Em C *
But I ain't never comin' back
End part:
IG'm sorry
I'm Emsorry
I'm C5sorry. G
That's about it, except for that little ditty where the stars are.
It goes something like this:
