(G) Puff, the (D) magic dragon (C) lived by the (G) sea
And (C) frolicked in the (G) autumn mist in a (C) land called Honah (D) Lee,
(G) Little Jackie (D) paper (C) loved that rascal (G) puff,
And (C) brought him strings and (G) sealing wax and (C) other (D) fancy (G) stuff. Oh

And (C) frolicked in the (G) autumn mist in a (C) land called Honah (D) Lee,
(G) Puff, the magic (D) dragon (C) lived by the (G) sea
And (C) frolicked in the (G) autumn mist in a (C) land called (D) Honah (G) Lee.
(G) Together they would (D) travel on a (C) boat with billowed (G) sail
(C) Jackie kept a (G) lookout perched on (C) puffs gigantic (D) tail,
(G) Noble kings and (D) princes would (C) bow whene'are they (G) came,
(C) Pirate ships would (G) lower their flag when (C) puff roared (D) out his (G) name. Oh!

(C) Painted wings and (G) giant strings make (C) way for other (D) toys.
(G) One sad night it (D) happened, Jackie (C) Paper came no (G) more
And (C) Puff that mighty (G) dragon, he (C) ceased his (D) fearless (G) roar.
His (G) head was bent in (D) sorrow, (C) green scales fell like (G) rain,
(C) Puff no longer (G) went to play (C) along the cherry (D) lane.
(G) Without his life-long (D) friend, (C) puff could not be (G) brave,
So (C) puff that mighty (G) dragon sadly (C) slipped in(D)to his (G) cave. Oh!
