Butterfly - By Weezer (Rivers Cuomo)
------------------------------------

As performed on their second album, Pinkerton (track 10).

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:
GG Piano Chord 
     EmEm Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

Yesterday I went outside
D?             GG Piano Chord 

With my Mother's Mason jar
EmEm Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
  *
Caught a lovely butterfly
GG Piano Chord 
      EmEm Piano Chord 
        CC Piano Chord 

When I woke up today
D?          GG Piano Chord 

Looked in on my fairy pet
EmEm Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 
  *
She had withered all away
D7D7 Piano Chord 

No more sighing in her breast

Chorus:
GG Piano Chord 

I'm sorry for what I did
EmEm Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

I did what my body told me to
DD Piano Chord 
                    GG Piano Chord 

I didn't mean to do you harm
G7G7 Piano Chord 
              CC Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 

Every time I pin down what I think I want
GG Piano Chord 

It slips away
EmEm Piano Chord 
           C5C5 Piano Chord 

And oh it slips away

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:
GG Piano Chord 
       EmEm Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 

I told you that I'd return
D?               GG Piano Chord 

When the robin builds his nest
EmEm Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 
   *
But I ain't never comin' back

End part:
GG Piano Chord 

I'm sorry
EmEm Piano Chord 

I'm sorry
C5C5 Piano Chord 
      GG Piano Chord 

I'm sorry.

That's about it, except for that little ditty where the stars are.
