CE
calm that wicked wind,
Am
to pick you up
F
and carry you off eastward,
CG
though i did release you
FC
for to seek a warmer sky
CE
should you be blown back
AmF
know that i will always run to greet you,
CG
still surprised to catch you
FC
every time
FGC
armed with this small butterfly net only
FG
i will face the world alone
CG
and never be lonely
CE
so calm that wicked wind,
AmF
and if you go, you could be gone forever
CG
i will play a while here
FC
by and by and by and by
FGC
armed with this small butterfly net only
FG
i will face the world alone
CG
and never be lonely
CE
up and up you go
AmF
for to steal the secrets of the heavens
CG
will you share them with me
FC
my bright and brilliant spy?
CE
should you be blown back
AmF
know that i will always run to greet you,
CG
still surprised to catch you
FC
every time
CG
still surprised to catch you
FC
by and by and by and by
