<< Back to Peter, Paul and Mary Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5
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:
G (320033)
C* (x32013)
[Verse 1]
G Bm C G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em A7 D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
G Bm C G
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
C G Em A7 D G D
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Oh. Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em A7 D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
G Bm C G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em A7 D G D
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
[Verse 2]
G Bm C G
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
C G Em A7 D7
And Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail,
G Bm C G
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
C G Em A7 D G D
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. oh!
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em A7 D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
G Bm C G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em A7 D G D
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
[Verse 3]
G Bm C G
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
C G Em A7 D7
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
G Bm C G
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
C G Em A7 D G D
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
[Verse 3]
G Bm C G
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
C G Em A7 D7
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
G Bm C G
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
C G Em A7 D G D
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em A7 D7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
G Bm C G
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
C G Em A7 D G C G
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
