[Intro]
C G C D G Am D C G
[Verse 1]
C G C G
Just off a highway, a many ringed oak tree
C G C G
Guarding forever his corner of meadow
C G C G
Saw one hot June day a dusty old pedlar
C G C G
Footsore and weary look round him for shadow…
[Chorus]
C Am D G
"Come my weary friend and lay your pack upon the ground
C Am D G
And I will keep you safe if you should care to rest your head
C Am D G
Come my weary friend and lay your troubles all around
C Am D C G
And listen to the music in the leaves above your bed"
[Verse 2]
C G C G
Gladly the old man lay down by the oak tree
C G C G
Muttered his thanks and fell soundly asleep…
C G C G
C G C G
[Verse 3]
C G C G
The old pedlar slept on for many an hour
C G C G
Resting his head on his hand by and by:
C G C G
He dreamed a dream that he'd left his old body
C G C G
And had become a fine gold butterfly…
[Chorus]
C Am D G
The golden butterfly went flitting flower after flower
C Am D G
And dreamed he was an old man fast asleep for many an hour…
C Am D G
The golden butterfly went flitting flower after flower
C Am D C G
And dreamed he was an old man fast asleep for many an hour
[Verse 4]
C G C G
The old pedlar slept on beneath the great oak tree
C G C G
Dreaming his butterfly dream where he flew free…
C G C G
C G C G
