Hi there, this is my first ever tab so hopefully it sounds ok. I've checked it a good
times and it sounds alight, so hopefully it will sound good for you too. The strumming
can be a bit tricky but it's actually pretty easy otherwise. Often, during the chorus D
A need only be strummed once. Also, you may want to strum slower in some parts of the
but use your own judgment to guide you :)
Any comments or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Verse
[F#m] [A] [E] X 2
[F#m]It's a good year for a murder
She's [A]praying to Jesus, she's [E]pulling the trigger
There's [F#m]no tears, cause he's not here
She [A]washes her hands and she [E]fixes the dinner,
[F#m]But soon they'll be coming to [A]rush her away
And [E]no ones so sure if her crime had a reason
The [F#m]reasons like seasons
They [A]constantly change,
And the [E]seasons of last year
Like reasons have floated [F#m]awa[A]y
Away with this [E]spilled milk
Away with this dirty dish water, [F#m]away [A]
Seventeen [E]years and all that he gave was a daughter
(strum once each) [D] [A] [E]
Chorus
"It's me and the [D]moon," she says [A] [E]
"And I've got no [D]trouble [A]with [E]that,
but I am a [D]butterfly, but [A]you wouldn't [E]let me die"
"It's me and [D]the moon," she says [A] [E]
Verse
[F#m] [A] [E]
[F#m]And it's over, but just started
The [A]blood stained the carpet
Her [E]heart like a crystal
She's [F#m]lucid and departed
A [A]life left behind, she can [E]find in her mind gone [F#m]awa[A]y
Away with these [E]nightmares
Away with suburbia
Shake down [F#m]away [A]
You marry a [E]role and
You give up your soul til you break down
(strum once each) [D] [A] [E]
Chorus
"It's me and the [D]moon," she says [A] [E]
"And I've got no [D]trouble[A] with [E]that,
But I am a [D]butterfly, but [A]you wouldn't [E]let me die"
"It's me and the [D]moon," she says [A] [E]
Bridge
[D]But what do you say we [A]go for a [E]ride?
[D]What do you say we [A]get [E]high?
[D]But I'm so [A]tired of [E]days that feel like the [D]night [A] [E]
(strum once each) [D] [A] [E]
Chorus
"It's me and the [D]moon," she says [A] [E]
"And I've got no [D]trouble[A] with [E]that,
And I am a [D]butterfly, but [A]you wouldn't [E]let me die
I am a [D]butterfly, but [A]you wouldn't [E]let me die
I Am A [D]butterfly [A] [E] , I Am
[D]butterfly [A] [E], I Am A butterfly [A] [E]
[D] [A] [E]
(strum last three chords once each slowly, let E ring)
