Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing (Audio) chords
Start Jamming...
Three butterflies tonight
I know they think that I took [Eb] somebody else
[Bbm] To make me beautiful, beautiful
[Ab] As they intended me to be
[Eb] But they're wrong
I know they think that I took thousands of people
[Bbm] To put me together again
Like an experiment
[Ab] Some big man behind the scenes
Slamming Frankenstein black [Eb] dreams into my song
But they're wrong
[Db] God, if you're near me, [Ab] send me three white butterflies
[Eb] Or an albino whale listening, sitting while I'm drinking
[Db] Grandfather, please stand on [Ab] the shoulders of my father
[Eb] While he's deep sea fishing for sharks in the Pacific
[Db] Some kind of spirit, one [Ab] body
The fella Bob Diddy left [Eb] all their wine
[Db] I'm full of gum, jazz, I'm blue, I'm [Ab] gray
Regret it, may I sell a [Eb] white woman
But [Db] I have good intentions
[Ab] Even if I'm one of the [Eb] last ones
If you [Db] don't believe me, my poetry [Ab] in a mouthpiece
Dearly, [Eb]
I [Db] have good intentions
[Ab] Even if I'm one of the last [Eb] ones
[Db]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Db] Grandfather, [Ab] please stand on the shoulders of my father
[Eb] While he's deep sea fishing for all the things he's wishing
[Db] God, if you're near me, send [Ab] me three white butterflies
Or [Eb] a black trunk, sitting quiet on me, whispering
[Ebm] To [Eb] somebody else
To make [Bb] me beautiful, [Bbm] wonderful
[Ab] As they [Eb]
intended me to be
But they're wrong

[F] [Eb]
