[Intro]
G Am C G Em D G
[Verse 1]
G Am
One night I dreamed that I was dead
C G
A butterfly flew into my head
Em D
"How do ya do," she said
G
"I'm an angel"
[Verse 2]
G Am
She said no more, she said no less
C G
I said "can you get me out of this mess
Em D
If you can well then I guess you must
G
Be an angel"
[Verse 3]
G Am
But then a worm crawled up my nose
C G
And said to the butterfly "I suppose
Em D
You think because of your beautiful clothes
G
You're an angel"
[Verse 4]
G Am
Well the butterfly smiled a knowing smile
C G
And said "a miss is as good as a mile
Em D
Nothing on earth can cramp the style
G
Of an angel"
[Interlude]
G Am C G Em D G
[Verse 5]
G Am
Then the worm said "I'm not satisfied
C G
And if you'll kindly step outside
Em D
In a civilized way, we can soon decide
G
Who's an angel"
[Verse 6]
G Am
Well I was turnin' in my grave
C G
The worm began to rant and rave
Em D
And the butterfly did not behave
G
Like an angel
[Interlude]
G Am C G Em D G
[Verse 7]
G Am
Then I awoke and found them gone
C G
I looked at the trees and the morning sun
Em D
And wondered if the worm had won
G
Or the angel
[Verse 8]
G Am
It's not every day you see the light
C G
But after such a restless night
Em D
I knew that only a worm could
G
Fight an angel
[Outro]
G Am C G Em D G
