[C] Puff the magic [Em] dragon [F] lived by the [C] sea,
And [Dm7] frolicked [G7] in the [C] autumn [Am] mist in a [D7] land called Honah [G7] Lee,
[C] Little Jackie [Em] Paper [F] loved that rascal [C] Puff,
And [Dm7] bought him [G7] strings and [C] sealing [Am] wax and
[D7] Other [G7] fancy [C] stuff. [G7] Oh!

[C] Together they would [Em] travel on a [F] boat with billowed [C] sail,
[Dm7] Jackie [G7] kept a [C] look out [Am] perched on [D7] Puff’s gigantic [G7] tail,
[C] Noble kings and [Em] princes would [F] bow when e’re they [C] came,
[Dm7] Pirate [G7] ships would [C] low’r their [Am] flag when
[D7] Puff roared [G7] out his [C] name. [G7] Oh!

{eoc}
[C] A Dragon Lives for [Em] ever but [F] not so little [C] boys.
[Dm7] Painted [G7] wings and [C] giant [Am] rings make [D7] way for other [G7] toys,
[C] One grey night it [Em] happened, Jackie [F] Paper came no [C] more. And
[Dm7]] Puff that [G7] mighty [C] dragon, [Am] he
[D7] Ceased his [G7] fearless [C] roar. [G7]
His [C] head was bent in [Em] sorrow green [F] scales fell like [C] rain,
[Dm7] Puff [G7] no longer [C] went to [Am] play [D7] along the cherry [G7] lane
[C] Without his lifelong [Em] friend [F] Puff could not be [C] brave. So
[Dm7] Puff [G7] that mighty [C] dragon [Am] sadly [D7] slipped in [G7] to his [C] cave. [G7] Oh!
{soc}

And [Dm7] frolicked [G7] in the [C] autumn [Am] mist in a [D7] Land called Honah[G7]Lee,
[C] Puff the magic [Em] dragon [F] lived by the [C] sea
And [Dm7] frolicked [G7] in the [C] autumn [Am] mist in a [D7] Land called [G7] Honah [C] Lee.

Optional HAPPY verse from Tom Lockhart
[C] Jackie Paper heard that [Em] Puff would [F] not come out his [C] cave,
He [Dm7] did [G7] not like [C] Puff being sad [Am] he [D7] liked him to be [G7] brave
He [C] called next day to [Em] visit and [F] Puff came out to [C] play
And they [Dm7] frolicked [G7] in the [C] autumn [Am] mist in a [D7] Land called [G7] Honah [C] Lee. [G7]
Oh!

And [Dm7] frolicked [G7] in the [C] autumn [Am] mist in a [D7] Land called [G7] Honah [C] Lee.
