Puff (The Magic Dragon)
Peter Yarrow, Leonard Lipton (1963) / Peter, Paul & Mary
| C | Em | F | C |
| Puff, the magic | dragon | lived by the | sea |
| F | C | Am | D7 | G7 |
And | frolicked in the | autumn | mist in a | land called Honah | Lee, |
| C | Em | F | C |
| Little Jackie | Paper | loved that rascal | Puff |
| F | C | Am | D7 | G7 | C | G7 |
And | brought him strings and | sealing | wax and | other | fancy | stuff. | Oh! |
| C | Em | F | C |
| Puff, the magic | dragon | lived by the | sea |
| F | C | Am | D7 | G7 |
And | frolicked in the | autumn | mist in a | land called Honah | Lee, |
| C | Em | F | C |
| Puff, the magic | dragon | lived by the | sea |
| F | C | Am | D7 | G7 | C |
And | frolicked in the | autumn | mist in a | land called | Honah | Lee. |
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail, | |
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail, | |
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came, | |
Pirate ships would low'r their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh! | |
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys, | |
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys, | |
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more | |
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar. Oh! | |
His head was bent in sorrow green scales fell like rain, | |
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane, | |
Without his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave | |
So Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave. Oh! | |
| D7 | G7 | C | F | C | G7 | C |
... in a | land called | Ho - nah - | Le | - | - | - | -e. |
