Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
       C                     G D/F# Em          A7                     D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
G                Bm    C                       G
Little jackie paper loved that rascal Puff
       C                                 G D/F# Em         A7    D7    G      D7
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh
(strum to fin.)

In a land called Honahlee                                   }


G                             Bm            C                         G
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
C                 G D/F# Em             A7                 D7
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail
G                       Bm                 C                            G
Noble kings and princes would bow when 'ere they came
C                         G      D/F# Em              A7             D7     G       D7
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, oh

[2nd HALF REFRAIN]


    G                    Bm         C             G
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
C                         G D/F# Em          A7                 D7
Painted wings and giants rings make way for other toys
G                       Bm                      C                     G
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
       C                       G D/F# Em    A7           D7       G     D7
And Puff that mighty dragon . . . he ceased his fearless roar

[2nd HALF REFRAIN]

     G                        Bm        C               G
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
C                   G D/F# Em     A7                  D7
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
      G                     Bm             C                 G
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave
     C                     G D/F# Em     A7        D7     G      D7
So Puff that mighty dragon . . .he slipped into his cave, oh

[REFRAIN] (half time after mist)
