Intro
[Gmaj7] [Em7] [D] [G] [Gsus2] [D] [G]
Verse 1
[G]Do you remember [G/F#]days [G/E]not so very [D7]long ago
When the [G]world was run by [Em]people [Am]twice your [D7]size?
And the [G]days were full of [C]laughter
And the [D]nights were full of [G]stars
And when you [Am]grew tired you could [D]close your [G]eyes
Verse 2
Yes, the [G]stars were there for [G/F#]wishing [G/E]
And the [D7]wind was there for [G]kites
And the [Em]morning sun was [Am]there for [D7]rise and shine
And even [G]if the sniffles [C]kept you home [D]from school in [G]bed
You couldn't [Am]hardly stay there [D]after [G]nine
Chorus
And I [Am]wonder if the [D7]smell of morning's [G]faded [Em]
What [Am]happened to the [D7]robin's song that [A7]sparkled in the [D7]sky?
[G]Where's all the [G7]water gone that [C]tumbled down a [G]stream?
Will I [Am]ever [D7]catch another [G]butterfly?
Verse 3
[G]Do you remember [G/F#]camp-outs [G/E]right in your own [D7]back yard
And [Em]wonderin' how [Am]aeroplanes could [D7]fly?
And the [G]hours spent just playin' [C]with a funny [D]rock you [G]found
With [Am]crystal specks as [D]blue as all the [G]sky
Chorus
And I [Am]wonder if the [D7]smell of morning's [G]faded [Em]
What [Am]happened to the [D7]robin's song that [A7]sparkled in the [D7]sky?
[G]Where's all the [G7]water gone that [C]tumbled down a [G]stream?
Will I [Am]ever [D7]catch another [G]butterfly?
Verse 4
[G]Now I watch my [G/F#]son, [G/E]he's playin' with his [D7]toys
He's [Em]happy and I [Am]give him all I [D7]can
But I [G]can't help feelin' [C]just a little [D]tingly [G]inside
When I [Am]hear him say he [D]wants to be a [G]man
Chorus
And I [Am]wonder if the [D7]smell of morning's [G]faded [Em]
What [Am]happened to the [D7]robin's song that [A7]sparkled in the [D7]sky?
[G]Where's all the [G7]water gone that [C]tumbled down a [G]stream?
Will I [Am]ever [D7]catch another [G]butterfly?
Will I [Am]ever [D7]catch another [G]butterfly?
