[Verse 1]
You [B] tucked me in,
Turned [F] out the lights,
[E] Kept me safe and
[B] Sound at night
[B] Little girls,
de[F] pend on things like
[E] that. [F]
You [B] brushed my teeth,
and [F] combed my hair,
[E] Had to drive me,
[B] Everywhere.
[B] You were always
[F] There when I looked
[E] back. [F]
You had to [E] do it all a[B] lone,
Make a [E] living, make a [B] home.
It [E] must've been, as [B] hard
As it could [F] be.
And when I [E] couldn't sleep at [B] night,
Scared things [E] wouldn't turn out [B] right,
[E] You would hold my [B] hand
And sing to [F] me.
[Chorus]
[B] Caterpillar, [F] in the tree,
[E] How you wonder, [F] who you'll be,
[B] Can't go far, but [F] you can always [E] dream. [F]
[B] Wish you may, and [F] wish you might,
[E] Don't you worry, [B] hold on tight,
I [B] promise you, [F] there will come a [E] day,
[F] Butterfly fly a[B] way.
[Verse 3]
[F] Butterfly fly a[B] way,
[E] Got your wings, now [F] you can't stay,
[B] Take your dreams and [F] make them all come [E] true.
[F] Butterfly fly a[B] way,
[E] We've been waiting, [F] for this day,
[B] All along, we've [F] known just what to [E] do,
[Outro]
[B] Butterfly,
[F] Butterfly,
[E] Butterfly fly a[B] way. (x3)
