Butterfly Weezer
Butterfly - By Weezer (Rivers Cuomo)
------------------------------------
As performed on their second album, Pinkerton (track 10).
Tabbed by Mark Carroll (rcarroll@axionet.com).
Okay, Weezer fans, time to get down and dirty.
Here's the chords and my own bastardization of the lyrics.
Some of this is pulled from when I saw them in concert here in
Vancouver (as in B.C., Canada). By the way, if you get a
chance to see a live show, do it. It is an incredible experience.
Anyway, on with the song.
Chords:
G G7 C C5 D D? D7 Em

Verse 1:
[G]Yester[Em]day I went out[C]side
D? G
With my Mother's Mason jar
Em C *
Caught a lovely butterfly
[G]When I [Em]woke up to[C]day
D? G
Looked in on my fairy pet
Em C *
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her b[D7]reast
Chorus:
I'm sorry for what I d[G]id
I did w[Em]hat my body to[C]ld me to
I di[D]dn't mean to do you h[G]arm
Every t[G7]ime I pin down w[C]hat I think I w[D]ant
It slips a[G]way
And [Em]oh it slips a[C5]way
Verse 2:
Smell you on my hands for days
Couldn't wash away the scent
I'm a dog and you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
To excite my fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly
Chorus
Verse 3:
[G]I told y[Em]ou that I'd r[C]eturn
D? G
When the robin builds his nest
Em C *
But I ain't never comin' back
End part:
I[G]'m sorry
I'm [Em]sorry
I'm [C5]sorry.[G]
That's about it, except for that little ditty where the stars are.
It goes something like this:
