[Verse 1]
[G]You[Bm] guys sound ter
[C]rific.[G][C]
Therefore, since [G]much has been given [Em]to you,
much will be [A]demanded.[D][G]
We [Bm]take you now to a courtroom
[D]scene [C]in downtown
New
[G]York.[C]
All right, we'll come to order.
Will the people please [Em]rise for the new
Judi[A]ciary
Committee.
[D]Judge
Cook [G]presiding.
[Bm]Golly,
Puff, I'm [G]scared.[C]
Don't you worry, [G]little
Jackie.
There's [C]no possible way the
[G]verdict can go against this.
[Em]We have truth on our side.[G][Dm]
Yeah, but
[D]Puff...[G]
[Bm]Now, the accused may [C]rise.
Do [G]you have any last words
[C]to say for [G]yourself,
[Em]Mr.
Paper[G],
[Em]Mr.
[G]Dragon?[D]
[G]Uh, yeah,
Your
[Bm]Honor.
[C]In [G]1959, we didn't even
[C]know what marijuana [G]was.
So [Em]how could h[A]ow c[D]ould
the song about [G]us?
Be about [Bm]that sir.
That's not [C]for me to sign.
That's for a [G]court to sign.
Mr.
[C]Dragon.
You have any last word[G]s?[Em][G]
[Em]Well[C][F][D]
You'll just have to go on our
[G]record [Bm]judge[C]
We've entertained [G]people the world over [C]and
always come away with [G]a good f[C]eeli[F]ng
[Em]Oh,
Bob, you shouldn't have [D]said that.
That might bi[G]as him.
I [Bm]mean a [C]perpetually good feeling,
Your
Honor.
[G]I mean a n[C]aturally good feeling.
[G]I s[Em]ee, o[Am]kay.[D]
And will the prosec[G]utor rise,
[Bm]plea[C]se?
[F]Yes.[G]
[C]Does
Newsweek
[G]Magazine have anything
further to [Dm]say?
[D]Our case [D]rests.[G][Bm]
Well, [C]because of the difficulty in [G]judging this case,
because [C]of the amount of [F]folklore
in[Em]tertwined with the [D]amount of conjecture,
[G]I feel it o[Bm]nly fair to leave i[F]t up t[C]o the
jury to decide.
[G]If the[C]y will, fac[G]t, join you in sin[Em]ging several cho[A]ruse[Dm]s of [D]some,
[G]we will just [Bm]have
to let you go [C]free.[G][C]
Have [G]the members of [Em]the [G]jury
[Em]reached [G]a d[D]ecision?
[G]Puff, the magic [Bm]dragon, [C]lived by the [G]sea.
Looks good,
[C]Puff.[G]
It's look[Em]ing better,
[A]Puff.[D]
Yeah, they're singing [G]well,
[Bm]Jimmy.
And they [C]know the words,
Puff.
[G]That's encouraging.
[C]And [G]little[Em][G][Em][D][G][D]
[G]Jackie
Pa[Bm]per [C]loved that rascal
Puff
[G]And he bro[C]ught him strings and sea[G]ling
[Em]wax [G]and [Em]other [D]fancy [G]stuff
[D]Oh
[G]Puff the magic [Bm]dragon [C]lived by the [G]sea
And fun[C]necked in the [G]autumn
mist in a [Em]land called
[A]Hallelee
[D]Oh,[Dm]
[G]Pop the
Magic
[Bm]Dragon [C]lived by the sea
[G]And
[C]Frolicked in the [G]autumn [Em]mist
[G]in [Em]a lamp on [D]a h[G]ill
To[D]gether [G]they would [Bm]travel on
a [C]boat with billows [G]sail
And
[C]Jackie kept [F]a l[G]ookout
[Em]perched on
Pop's gi[D]gantic tail
And [G]noble kings and [Bm]princes would
[C]bow whene they [G]came
And [C]pirate ships would
[G]lower their [Em]flags [G]when
[Em]Puff roared [D]out his name
[G]Whoa,[D]
[G]Puff the magic [Bm]dragon [C]lived by the [G]sea
And [C]if I link them together,
[G]the[Em]y still have no one[A] to [D]give
And [G]if [Bm]them together,
[F]the[C]y still [G]have no
And if [C]I link them together,[G]
[Em]still have no one [D]to g[G]ive
[D]A d[G]ragon lives f[Bm]orever,
but [C]not so little [G]boys
[C]Painted wings and [G]giant's rings
make [Em]way for o[D]ther toys
And [G]one gray night it [Bm]happened,
Jackie
Pa[C]per came no [G]more
And
[C]Puff, that mighty dragon,
[G]he [Em]ceased his fearless[D] roar[G]
[D]An d his [G]head was bent in [Bm]sorrow,
[C]green scales fell [G]like rain
[C]Puff no longer [G]went to [Em]play
along the [A]cherry [D]lane
Without [G]his lifelong [Bm]friend
[C]Puff could not be [G]brave
So
[C]Puff, that mighty [G]dragon
[Em]Sadly slipped into [D]his [G]cave
But we could bring [D]him out again
If we sing it real loud one more time
[G]Puff, the magic [Bm]dragon
[G]Lived [C]by the sea[G]
And [C]frolicked in the [G]autumn mis[Em]t
In a land called
[A]Hanalei
[D]It's working,
[G]Puff!
It's work[Bm]ing!
I [F]believe [C]so,
Jackie!
Look at the [G]smile on the
judge's [F]face![C][G]
[Em]In a land call[A]ed
[D]Hon[G]olulu...
[D]Case [G]dismissed!
