| G | Bm | C | G | | Puff the magic | dragon, | lived by the | sea, |
|
| C | G | A | D | And | frolicked in the | autumn mist in a | land called Hona | lee. |
|
| G | Bm | C | G | | Little Jackie | Paper | loved that rascal, | Puff, |
|
| C | G | Em | A | D | G | D | And | brought him strings and | sealing | wax and | other | fancy | stuff. | |
|
|
| G | Bm | C | G | To | gether they would | travel on a | boat with billowed | sail, |
|
| C | G | A | D | | Jackie kept a | lookout perched on | Puff's gigantic | tail. |
|
| G | Bm | C | G | | Noble kings and | princes would | bow whene'er they | came, |
|
| C | G | Em | A | D | G | D | | Pirate ships would | lower their | flags when | Puff roared | out his | name, | Oh |
|
|
| G | Bm | C | G | A | dragon lives for | ever, but | not so little | boys, |
|
| C | G | A | D | | Painted wings and | giants' rings make | way for other | toys. |
|
| G | Bm | C | G | | One grey night it | happened, Jackie | Paper came no | more, |
|
| C | G | Em | A | D | G | D | And | Puff that mighty | dragon | sadly | ceased his | fearless | roar. | |
|
|
| G | Bm | C | G | His | head was bent in | sorrow, | green scales fell like | rain, |
|
| C | G | A | D | | Puff no longer | went to play a | long the cherry | lane. |
|
| G | Bm | C | G | With | out his lifelong | friend, Puff no | longer could be | brave, |
|
| C | G | Em | A | D | G | D | So | Puff that mighty | dragon | sadly | slipped in | to his | cave. | Oh |
|
