A  D  A

[Verse 1]
           A              D                                 A             D
Lord she's restless, like cotton candy clouds that sail the day, slow and free
        A           D                                A                   D
And she possesses a mind that can't resign itself to stay, for long with me
            E                                    D                          A               D
Though I've tried and tried to keep her tied and satisfied until she really needs me, yes I do
A                                       E                               A
But when that certain look comes on her face I can't replace it and she leaves me

[Chorus 1]
E                                 D                                    A                   D    
She's a butterfly in mid July who just can't wait to try her brand new wings, on brand new things
        A                 E               A
And she needs no rhyme or reason when she goes
E                                    D                      A                  D
Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall of blue horizon I suppose and heaven knows
          A              E                 A
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
        D             A
Yes she will, yes she will 
          A              E                 A
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows

[Verse 2]
           A               D                         A             D
I know she needs me, about as much as I need someone else, which I don't
       A          D                               A               D
And if need be, I swear someday I'll up and leave myself, which I won't
            E                     D                         A   D
Even if she loved another man I'd understand it more than I do, Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmm
A                                   E                           A
But I know the only reason that she ever has for leavin' is she wants to

[Chorus 2]
E                                 D                                    A                   D    
She's a butterfly in mid July who just can't wait to try her brand new wings, on brand new things
        A                 E               A
And she needs no rhyme or reason when she goes
E                                    D                      A                   D
Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall of blue horizon I suppose, and heaven knows
          A              E                 A
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows

[Outro]
           D                A                D                A                D                A
Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmm
