Verse 1
[A] Puff, the magic [C#m] dragon [D] lived by the [A] sea
And [D] frolicked in the [A] autumn [F#m] mist in a [B7] land called Honah [E7] Lee,
[A] Little Jackie [C#m] Paper [D] loved that rascal [A] Puff,
And [D] brought him strings and [A] sealing [F#m] wax and [B7] other [E] fancy [A] stuff [E] .

Chorus
Oh. [A] Puff, the magic [C#m] dragon [D] lived by the [A] sea
And [D] frolicked in the [A] autumn [F#m] mist in a [B7] land called Honah [E7] Lee,
[A] Puff, the magic [C#m] dragon [D] lived by the [A] sea
And [D] frolicked in the [A] autumn [F#m] mist in a [B7] land called [E] Honah [A] Lee [E] .

Verse 2
[A] Together they would [C#m] travel [D] on a boat with [A] billowed sail
And [D] Jackie kept a [A] lookout [F#m] perched on [B7] Puff’s gigantic [E7] tail,
[A] Noble kings and [C#m] princes would [D] bow whenever they [A] came,
[D] Pirate ships would [A] lower their [F#m] flags when [B7] Puff roared [E] out his [A] name. [E] oh!

Chorus
[A] Puff, the magic [C#m] dragon [D] lived by the [A] sea
And [D] frolicked in the [A] autumn [F#m] mist in a [B7] land called Honah [E7] Lee,
[A] Puff, the magic [C#m] dragon [D] lived by the [A] sea
And [D] frolicked in the [A] autumn [F#m] mist in a [B7] land called [E] Honah [A] Lee [E] .

Verse 3
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
[D] Painted wings and [A] giant [F#m] rings make [B7] way for other [E7] toys.
[A] One grey night it [C#m] happened, [D] Jackie Paper [A] came no more
And [D] Puff that mighty [A] [F#m] dragon, he [B7] ceased his [E] fearless [A] roar [E] .

Verse 4
His [A] head was bent in [C#m] sorrow, [D] green scales fell like [A] rain,
[D] Puff no longer [A] went to [F#m] play [B7] along the cherry [E7] lane.
[A] Without his life-long [C#m] friend, [D] Puff could not be [A] brave,
So [D] Puff that mighty [A] dragon [F#m] sadly [B7] slipped [E] into his [A] cave [E] .

Chorus
[A] Puff, the magic [C#m] dragon [D] lived by the [A] sea
And [D] frolicked in the [A] autumn [F#m] mist in a [B7] land called Honah [E7] Lee,
[A] Puff, the magic [C#m] dragon [D] lived by the [A] sea
And [D] frolicked in the [A] autumn [F#m] mist in a [B7] land called [E] Honah [A] Lee [D] [A] .
