[Chorus]
G                Bm     C    C*      G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                G               Em           A7  G   D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
G             Bm     C         C*     G
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
    C                       G              Em     A7  G   D7
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh
 
[Chorus]
G                Bm     C    C*      G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                 G              Em           A7  G  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
G                Bm     C    C*      G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                G               Em           A7 G  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
 
[Verse]
  G                 Bm         C          C*       G
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
C             G                  Em       A7 G  D7
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
G               Bm            C         C*      G
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
C                  G                     Em          A7  G   D7
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. 
 
[Chorus]
G                 Bm     C    C*      G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                 G              Em           A7 G  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
G                Bm     C    C*      G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                G               Em           A7 G  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
 
[Verse]
G               Bm       C      C*     G
Dragons live forever but not so little boys
C                 G                  Em      A7 G  D7
Painted wings and giant strings make way for other toys.
G                Bm        C            C*      G
One sad night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
    C                G          Em         A7  G    D7
And Puff that mighty dragon he, ceased his fearless roar.
   G                 Bm      C            C*        G
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
C              G            Em        A7 G   D7
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
  G                   Bm      C          C*     G
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave, 
   C                G             Em       A7  G   D7
So puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave. 
 
[Chorus]
G                 Bm     C    C*      G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                 G              Em           A7 G  D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
G                Bm     C    C*      G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    C                 G              Em           A7 D7 G
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

Great tab. I think the last like of each verse, the "honah lee" line, needs a G between the A7 and the D7, though.

Can you please make a full tab of this song? I really like the first part though.
