G     G/F#  Em         D/F#       G
Do you remember days not so very long ago
          Em               Am     Am/G     D/F#
When the world was run by people twice your size?
         G                 C
And the days were full of laughter
         D/F#                 G
And the nights were full of stars 
          Am       Am/G  D/F#                G
And when you grew tired you could close your eyes
C/G       G      C/G      G
 
         G           G/F#     Em
Yes the stars were there for wishing
         D/F#                G
And the wind was there for kites
         Em               Am     Am/G      D/F#
And the morning sun was there for rise and shine
      G           C
And even if the sniffles kept you 
 D/F#                G
Home from school in bed
     Am      Am/G   D/F#              G
You couldn't hardly stay there after nine

       Am    Am/G    D/F#               G  G/F# Em
And I wonder if the smell of morning's fad  -   ed
      Am      Am/G   D/F#
What happened to the robin's song 
       Am             D
That sparkled in the sky?
 G               G/B
Where's all the water gone 
      C                G
That tumbled down a stream?
       Am    Am/G   D/F#        G     C/G  G  C/G G
Will I ever catch another butterfly?



    G     G/F#   Em            D/F#             G
Do you remember campouts right in your own backyard?
 Em           Am   Am/G      D/F#
Wondering how airplanes could fly
         G                 C
And the hours spent just playin'
        D/F#           G
With a funny rock you found
      Am        Am/G  D/F#              G
With crystal specks as blue as all the sky

       Am    Am/G    D/F#               G  G/F# Em
And I wonder if the smell of morning's fad  -   ed
      Am      Am/G   D/F#
What happened to the robin's song 
       Am             D
That sparkled in the sky?
 G               G/B
Where's all the water gone 
      C                G
That tumbled down a stream?
       Am    Am/G   D/F#        G     C/G  G  C/G G
Will I ever catch another butterfly?

 G     G/F#    Em          D/F#            G
Now I watch my son, he's playin' with his toys
      Em       Am      Am/G   D/F#
He's happy, I give him all I can
    G             C
But I can't help feelin' 
        D/F#            G
Just a little tingly inside
        Am       Am/G   D/F#          G
When I hear him say he wants to be a man

       Am    Am/G    D/F#               G  G/F# Em
And I wonder if the smell of morning's fad  -   ed
      Am      Am/G   D/F#
What happened to the robin's song 
       Am             D
That sparkled in the sky?
 G               G/B
Where's all the water gone 
      C                G
That tumbled down a stream?
       Am    Am/G   D/F#        G     Em
Will I ever catch another butterfly?
       Am    Am/G   D/F#        G    
Will I ever catch another butterfly?
