G Daug Dm C (*)
Your mind's full of everything that I wanna know
Cm G
I just had to let you know

You're my butterfly...flyin' high

Flyin' high...fly, fly, fly...

Notes:
The chords here in the tab bits are only the down
strums taken from the album "Mama said", but it'll
sound great any way you play it.
This is dedicated to John "my guitar guru" Bradbury who taught me how to play
it, and especially to my love Sib who inspired me to learn to play guitar.
