Elusive butterfly (1965) (midi)

D - Em D - Em

1. You might wake up some morning

A A7 D

to the sound of something moving past your window in the wind.

Em A

And if you're quick enough to rise,

Em A D

you'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow.

D Em

2. Out on the new horizon,

A A7 D

you may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings.

Em A

And if the sleep has left your ears,

Em A D

you might hear footsteps running through an open meadow .

Em - A D

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you,

Em A D

it's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of.

Em - A D

Across my dreams, with nets of wonder,

Em A D

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.

D Em

3. You might have heard my footsteps

A A7 D

echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind.

Em A

I might have even called your name,

Em A D

as I ran searching after something to believe in.

D Em

4. You might have seen me running

A A7 D

through the long abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind.

Em A

If you remember something there

Em A D

that glided past you followed close by heavy breathing.

Em - A D

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you,

Em A D

it's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of.

Em - A D

Across my dreams, with nets of wonder,

Em A D

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.

Em - A D

Across my dreams, with nets of wonder,

Em A D

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.
