Intro: 
Em   C   Am

Em        C          Am
Goodbye, black butterfly
Am
You can take those perfect wings
Em             C     Am
into outer space
  Am              Em
'Cause there's no place
C
left in this blood
Am
For your restless fluttering,
Em             C      Am
your sleepless ways

Em               C
Black butterfly, flutter me by
Am
Kick a little bitter into the night
Em                        
Spark of the stars, 
C
leave alone my heart
Am
Trying to be good by you, alright, alright

Em  C Am 

Em                C  
Salt breeze, rose city sunset
 Am                                  Em             Am
The bats are swinging 'round me like drunken ships
Em         C          Am   
Ever, evergreen bows above me tower
              Em               C    
Singing quiet stories 'bout forgiveness
Em               C
Black butterfly, flutter me by
Am
Kick a little bitter into the night
Em                        
Spark of the stars, 
C
leave alone my heart
Am                                      Em
Trying to be good by you, alright, alright

C          Am
Alright, alright
Am         Em
Alright, alright
C          Am
