Verse 1:

F#      Ebm           B
  Yesterday I went outside
         C#           F#
With my momma's mason jar
         Ebm          B    RIFF 1 (Or play C#)
Caught a lovely Butterfly
F#      Ebm        B
  When I woke up today
          C#          F#
Looked in on my fairy pet
        Ebm         B  RIFF 2(then back to B for a moment before going to C)
She had withered all away
                      C#
No more sighing in her breast

Chorus:
                    F#
I'm sorry for what I did
     Ebm          B
I did what my body told me to
 C#                    F#
I didn't mean to do you harm
      F#7           B   RIFF 3           C#
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
        F#         Ebm          B
It slips away - the ghost slips aw- aaay


Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1):

I smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a b**ch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasies
A life of chasing butterfly


Chorus:
                    F#
I'm sorry for what I did
     Ebm          B
I did what my body told me to
 C#                    F#
I didn't mean to do you harm
      F#7           B              C#
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
        F#         Ebm         B
It slips away - the ghost slips aw-aaay


(Stay on B)


Verse 3 (pretty much the same but slower):

F#      Ebm           B
  I told you I would return
        C#              F#
When the robin makes his nest
           Ebm          B  RIFF 1 (Or play C#)
But I ain't never coming back

F#

F#
I'm sorry
Ebm
I'm sorry
B                 F#
I'm sorry
