[Verse 1]
G      G7           C
Sittin' down at your table
G          G7          C
I close the door to the stable
G             G7          C
This time I'll stay if I'm able

[Chorus]
      G         G7          C
When a butterfly flies by my window
G        G7                C
And I can see which way the wind blows
G   G7      C
Only you and I know
       F  C     G    G7 C G  G G7 C G
You and I, butterfly

[Verse 2]
G    G7           C
Got a pillow under my mind, yeah
G           G7            C
Believe that woman to be a cold mind, yeah
G           G7        C
Come on curl up by the fireside

[Chorus]
      G         G7          C
When a butterfly flies by my window
G        G7                C
And I can see which way the wind blows
G   G7      C
Only you and I know
       F  C     G    G7 C G  G G7 C G
You and I, butterfly

[Verse 3]
G       G7              C
Good ol' Reverend Andrew came around
G           G7              C
Said Boy its good to see you back here in town
G        G7                C
Church on Sunday, why don't you drop down
G            G7               C
The woman was lonely here when you were gone
G     G7              C
Almost every day she'd come by to see me
G         G7                  C
I'll say a prayer tonight that you will be, yeah
G      G7                C
Man enough to give her security
G                G7           C
'Cause that's all that anybody really needs

[Chorus]
      G         G7          C
When a butterfly flies by my window
G        G7                C
And I can see which way the wind blows
G   G7      C
Only you and I know
       F  C     G    G7 C G  G G7 C G
You and I, butterfly
