C E Am F

Calm that wicked wind, to pick you up and carry you off eastward,
C G F G
Though I did release you for to seek a warmer sky
C E Am F
Should you be blown back know that I will always run to greet you,
C G F C
Still surprised to catch you every time


C F C
Armed with this small butterfly net only
F G
I will face the world alone
C G
and never be lonely

C E Am F
So calm that wicked wind, and if you go, you could be gone forever
C G F C
I will play a while here by and by and by and by

Sax Solo:
C E Am F
C G F C (twice)


C F C
Armed with this small butterfly net only
F G
I will face the world alone
C G
and never be lonely

C E Am F
Up and up you go for to steal the secrets of the heavens
C G F G
Will you share them with me my bright and brilliant spy?
C E Am F
Should you be blown back know that I will always run to greet you,
C G F
Still surprised to catch you every time
C G F C
Still surprised to catch you by and by and by and by
