[Intro]
N.C.                                   D
Three white butterflies to know you're near
 
 
[Verse]
D
I know they think that it took somebody else
           Am
To make me beautiful, beautiful
   G
As they intended me to be
             D
But they're wrong
D
I know they think that it took thousands of people
            Am
To put me together again like an experiment
     G
Some big men behind the scenes
                                         D
Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my songs
             D
But they're wrong
 
 
[Chorus]
C                                  G
 God, if you'rе near me, send mе three white butterflies
      D
Or an owl to know know you're listening, sitting while I'm drinking
 C                               G
Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father
           D
While he's deep-sea fishing for sharks in the Pacific
 
 
[Bridge]
           C
'Cause I'm good in spirit, warm-bodied
  G                            D
A fallible deity wrapped up in white (Oh-oh)
    C
I'm folk, I'm jazz, I'm blue, I'm green
   G                        D
Regrettably, also a white woman (Oh-oh)
          C                     G                      D
But I have good intentions even if I'm one of the last ones
               C                          G
If you don't believe me, my poetry, or my melodies
                D
Feel it in your bones
      C                      G                      D
I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones
     C              G            D
(Ah-ah-ah, yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah, mm)
 
[Chorus]
 C                               G
Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father
           D
While he's deep-sea fishing for all the things he's wishing
C                                 G
 God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
     D
Or a map to know you're fishing, impart on me Your wisdom
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
        G                        Am7
It took somebody else to make me beautiful, wonderful
   G
As they intended me to be
             D
But they're wrong
