I play with a capo on 3 but if you listen to the track you don't have too.
#1.
CYou might wake up some Dmmornin',
To the G7sound of something moving past your Cwindow in the wind.
And if you're Dmquick enough to G7rise,
You'll catch a Dmfleeting glimpse of G7someone's fading Cshadow.
CHORUS:
Don't be Dmconcerned, G7it will not Charm you.
It's only G7me persuing something I'm not Csure of.
Across my Dmdream, G7with nets of Cwonder,
I chase the G7bright, elusive butterfly of Clove.
#2.
COut on the new Dmhorizon,
You may G7see the floating motion of a Cdistant pair of wings.
And if the Dmsleep has left your G7ears,
You might hear fDmootsteps running G7through an open Cmeadow.
CHORUS:
#3.
CYou might have heard my Dmfootsteps,
Echo G7softly in the distance through the Ccanyons of your mind.
I might have Dmeven called your G7name,
As I ran Dmsearching after G7something to believe Cin.
CYou might have seen me Dmrunnin',
Through the G7long abandoned ruins of the Cdreams you left behind.
If you Dmremember something G7there
That glided Dmpast you followed G7close, by heavy Cbreathing.
CHORUS:
ADD:
Across my Dmdream with G7nets of Cwonder,
I chase the G7bright elusive butterfly of Clove.(x2)Fade.

Chords in this song · guitar

I play with a capo on 3 but if you listen to the track you don't have too.

#1.

C Dm

You might wake up some mornin',

G7 C

To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind.

Dm G7

And if you're quick enough to rise,

Dm G7 C

You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow.

CHORUS:

Dm G7 C

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you.

G7 C

It's only me persuing something I'm not sure of.

Dm G7 C

Across my dream, with nets of wonder,

G7 C

I chase the bright, elusive butterfly of love.

#2.

C Dm

Out on the new horizon,

G7 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.

CHORUS:

#3.

C Dm

You might have heard my footsteps,

G7 C

Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind.

Dm G7

I might have even called your name,

Dm G7 C

As I ran searching after something to believe in.

C Dm

You might have seen me runnin',

G7 C

Through the long abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind.

Dm G7

If you remember something there

Dm G7 C

That glided past you followed close, by heavy breathing.

CHORUS:

ADD:

Dm G7 C

Across my dream with nets of wonder,

G7 C

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.(x2)Fade.
