G Bm C G

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea

C G (½) Em (½) Am D
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

G Bm C G
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

C G (½) Em (½) Am (½) D (½) G (½) D (½)
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh

Chorus:

G Bm C G

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea

C G (½) Em (½) Am D
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
G Bm C G

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

C G (½) Em (½) Am (½) D (½) G (½) D (½)
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hona - lee.

G Bm C G

Together they would travel on boat with billowed sail

C G (½) Em (½) Am D
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail

G Bm C G
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came

C G (½) Em (½) Am (½) D (½) G (½) D (½)
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, oh

Chorus

G Bm C G

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys

C G (½) Em (½) Am D
Painted wings and giants's rings make way for other toys.

G Bm C G
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

C G (½) Em (½) Am (½) D (½) G (½) D (½)
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

G Bm C G

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain

C G (½) Em (½) Am D
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.

G Bm C G
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave

C G (½) Em (½) Am (½) D (½) G (½) D (½)
So, Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave, oh
