<< Back to Peter, Paul and Mary Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5I've always loved this song, and so I decided to do my first full-song tab of it. This how I play it, so I don't know how close it is to the original version, but it still great! This song should be easy for anyone with a 4/4 strum pattern and some bar chord experience Enjoy! Here's the modified chords that I throw in for kicks: G (320033) C* (x32013) [Verse 1] G Bm C G Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea C G Em A7 D7 And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, G Bm C G Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff, C G Em A7 D G D And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. [Chorus] G Bm C G Oh. Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea C G Em A7 D7 And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, G Bm C G Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea C G Em A7 D G D And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. [Verse 2] G Bm C G Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail C G Em A7 D7 And Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail, G Bm C G Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came, C G Em A7 D G D Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. oh! [Chorus] G Bm C G Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea C G Em A7 D7 And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, G Bm C G Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea C G Em A7 D G D And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. [Verse 3] G Bm C G A dragon lives forever but not so little boys C G Em A7 D7 Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys. G Bm C G One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more C G Em A7 D G D And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar. [Verse 3] G Bm C G His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain, C G 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 Em A7 D G D So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. [Chorus] G Bm C G Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea C G Em A7 D7 And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, G Bm C G Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea C G Em A7 D G C G And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
