Capo II *
 
G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                G                Em          A7    D
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    D7    G      D7
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh 
 
G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                G                Em          A7    D
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          D     G
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
 
G                   Bm          C                  G
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
C             G                  Em     A7       D
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
G               Bm            C                 G
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
C                  G                      Em          A7      D     D7
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. Oh! 
 
G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                G                Em          A7    D
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          D     G
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
 
  G               Bm       C             G
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
C                 G             Em           A7    D
Painted wings and giants' 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
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar. 
 
    G                Bm            C                G
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
C              G             Em       A7     D
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
    G                Bm      C                 G
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave,
   C                G            Em        A7     D     D7
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh! 
 
G               Bm     C            G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                G                Em          A7    D
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          D     G
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

This is by far the best version. The subtly different placement of the Em makes a huge difference, and the use of the D and D7 in varying places is perfect.
