[Verse 1]
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!
 
 
[Refrain]
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
 
 
[Verse 2]
  C                 Em          F                  C
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
F             C       Am         D7              G7
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
C               Em            F                 C
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
F                  C           Am        D7          G7      C      G7
Pirate ships would low'r their flag when Puff called out his name   Oh
 
 
[Refrain]
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
 
 
[Verse 3]
  C               Em       F             C
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys,
F                 C     Am         D7            G7
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys
C                 Em               F             C
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
    F                C      Am    D7         G7       C     G7
And Puff that mighty dragon,   he ceased his fearless roar
   D7         G7       C    G7
He ceased his fearless roar
 
 
[Verse 4]
    C                Em      F                      C
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
F              C       Am    D7              G7
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
   C                 Em      F                 C
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
   F                C      Am    D7        G7     C    G7
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave
 
 
[Refrain]
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   F C G7 C
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah-Lee
