Lyrics and chords
(sing start on A B C F)
Poor Butter- Dmfly G7'neath the blossoms Cmaj7waiting; Poor Butter- E+fly for she E7loved him A7so.
The moments D7pass into G7hours, the hours Cpass into Amyears, and as she D7smiles through her tears, she murmers Dmlow; G7
The moon and DmI G7know that he'll be Cmaj7faithful; I'm sure he'll E+come to me E7by and A7by.
But if Dmhe won't come back Fm then I'll never Csigh or cry; C/EI just must Dmdie. G7 Poor Butter- Cfly.
