Capo III *
 
Cmaj7 Dm  2x
 
Cmaj7                  Dm
You might wake up some morning
       G7                 G                Cmaj7         C
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
              Dm
And if you're quick enough to rise
               G7                  G                C
You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Cmaj7            Dm
Out on the new horizon
        G7               G           Cmaj7           C
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
           Dm                  G7
And if the sleep has left your ears
          Dm                     G7              C
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
 
Cmaj7       Dm     G7            C
Don't be concerned,  it will not harm you
          G7          G                 C
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
          Dm     G7             C
Across my dreams   with nets of wonder
            G7             G            C
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
 
Cma7                    Dm
You might have heard my footsteps
     G7            G                    Cmaj7           C
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
             Dm               G7
I might have even called your name
         Dm              G              C
As I ran searching after something to believe in
               Cmaj7   Dm
You might have seen me running
            G7             G            Cmaj7             C
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
        Dm                G
If you remember something there
            Dm                G7       G     C
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
 
Cmaj7       Dm     G7            C
Don't be concerned,  it will not harm you
          G7          G                 C
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
          Dm     G7             C
Across my dreams   with nets of wonder
            G7             G            C
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
 
          Dm     G7             C
Across my dreams   with nets of wonder
            G7             G            C
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
