Elusive Butterfly:Bob Lind:
#5 in in 1966.
INTRO:  Eb   Fm(x2)
#1.
EbYou might wake up some Fmmornin',
to the Bb7sound of something moving past your Ebwindow in the wind.
And if you're Fmquick enough to Bb7rise,
you'll catch a Fmfleeting glimpse of Bb7someone's fading Ebshadow.
#2.
EbOut on the new Fmhorizon,
you may Bb7see the floating motion of a Ebdistant pair of wings.
And if the Fmsleep has left your Bb7ears,
you might hear Fmfootsteps running Bb7through an open Ebmeadow.
CHORUS:
Don't be Fmconcerned, Bb7it will not Ebharm you.
It's only Bb7me persuing something I'm not Ebsure of.
Across my Fmdream, Bb7with nets of Ebwonder,
I chase the Bb7bright, elusive butterfly of Eblove.
#3.
EbYou might have heard my Fmfootsteps,
echo Bb7softly in the distance through the Ebcanyons of your mind.
I might have Fmeven called your Bb7name,
as I ran Fmsearching after Bb7something to believe iEbn.
#4.
EbYou might have seen me Fmrunnin',
through the Bb7long abandoned ruins of the Ebdreams you left behind.
If you Fmremember something Bb7there..
that glided Fmpast you followed Bb7close by, heavy Ebbreathing.
CHORUS:
Don't be Fmconcerned, Bb7it will not hEbarm you.
It's only Bb7me persuing something I'm not sEbure of.
Across my Fmdream, Bb7with nets of Ebwonder,
I chase the Bb7bright, elusive butterfly of Eblove.
(INTERLUDE:)
OUTRO:
Across my Fmdream with Bb7nets of Ebwonder,
I chase the Bb7bright elusive butterfly of Eblove.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
