Puff The Magic Dragon Acoustic Tab

by Peter Paul And Mary


I've always loved this song, and so I decided to do my first full-song tab of it.  This 
how I play it, so I don't know how close it is to the original version, but it still 
great!  This song should be easy for anyone with a 4/4 strum pattern and some bar chord experience  Enjoy!

Here's the modified chords that I throw in for kicks:
  (320033)
* (x32013)

                                
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

                                               
  
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

                                  
Little jackie paper loved that rascal Puff,

                                               
  
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh


                                
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

                                               
  
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

                                
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

                                               
  
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.


                                      
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

                                               
And Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail,

                                            
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,

                                               
        
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. oh!


                                
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

                                               
  
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

                                
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

                                               
  
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

                                     
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys

                                           
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.

                                     
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

                                              
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.


                                                
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,

                                       
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.

                                            
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,

                                          
So Puff that mighty dragon, he slipped into his cave. oh!


                                
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

                                               
  
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

                                
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

                                            
        *  
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
