Butterfly — Jason Mraz
Chords and lyrics for Butterfly by Jason Mraz (key of Am).
Verse 1
BUTTERFLY – Jason Mraz
This refers to the acoustic version off the We Dance EP. And this is
as close as I can get it. I put the chords I use at the end, so scroll
down. Mraz likes to mix it up, so the strumming, for instance, changes
throughout
the song. Have fun.
