Butterfly For Bucky(Chords)

	        

G                            D 
Buck was born on a beautiful morning 
       C            G 
And I felt very proud 
                        D 
Lets just say its not every day 
              C             G 
That you see me cry out loud 
                                D   
Hair like Sunshine, A smile as Warm 
            C                     G 
And the prettiest eyes you'll find 
                               D 
One day last spring my lady and I 
          C                    G 
Found out those eyes were blind 


    G                         D 
   Save a Butterfly for me daddy 
            C           D       G 
   They sound so pretty to me 
                             D 
   Tell me about the butterfly 
           G       C        D    G 
    And all the things you see 


G                                      D 
Well over there Buck lies a beautiful meadow 
               C              G 
With the colors of gold and tan 
                                            D    
With the smell of hay and the sound of crickets 
                  C           G 
Here Buck, Take my hand 
                                            D 
And I wish you could see that big oak tree 
             C                     G 
With its limbs reaching up to the sky 
                                       D 
And a bed of flowers growing at its feet 
          C             G 
And a Big Yellow Butterfly 

G                          D 
Save a butterfly for me Daddy 
C                D         G 
Before they disappear 
                            D 
Save a butterfly for me Daddy 
                G       C D   G 
and on his cheek was a tiny tear 
G                                       D 
So we packed up our bags our hopes and our dreams 
             C                 G 
And we all went to town that day 
                                   D 
I sneaked off to the hospital chapel 
         C                        G 
I got down on my knees and I prayed 

G                              D 
Save a butterfly for my boy Lord 
C                D        G 
I sure need nothing for me 
G                                D 
Except an angel of joy to touch him 
        G          C       D       G 
The way that he's touched me 

G                                   D 
Now there are things in this universe 
        C                     G 
That we just don't understand 
G                                      D 
And through an open window came a butterfly 
     C                   G 
to land on Bucks small hand 
                                 D 
The doctors face was strangely white 
      C                G 
As if it just couldn't be 
                                D 
But the light was in my boys face 
                      C        G 
Daddy he said, I can see 

G                          D 
Save a Butterfly for us Bucky 
          C      D         G 
We're all so blind it seems 
                        D 
For we've not seen the magic 
     G            C       D     G 
In the power of a little boys dreams
