Once I loved a butterfly
A D Dsus4 D
Don't wonder how, don't ask me why
C G G/F# Em
But I believed what I'd been told
A D
"All things that glitter can't be gold"
F G D Gadd11
Ooooo ooo yeah
G A D Dsus4 D
All things that glitter can't be gold
C G Gadd11 G
Those jealous minds conspired to say
A D Dsus4 D
Just let that creature fly away
C G G/F# Em
How can it be she has it all
A D
Her pride is headed for a fall
F G D Gadd11
Ooooo ooo yeah
G A D Dsus4 D
All things that glitter can't be gold
Bm C
Oh Lord, what races we run
Esus4 E Esus4 E Am Am/G
Seeking our place in the sun
F D C G
Reaching and hoping we'll find the right one
D C G Gadd11 G
Now every day a new joy brings
A D Dsus4 D
My butterfly grew golden wings
C G G/F# Em
It seems we find as we grow old
A* D
Some things that glitter may be gold
F G D Gadd11
Ooooo ooo yeah
G A D B
Some things that glitter may be gold
E D A Asus4 A
So let us mind what's there to see
B E Esus4 E
Before our hearts become too cold
D A A/G# F#m
In spite of all that we've been told
B* E
Some things that glitter may be gold
G A E Esus4
Ooooo ooo yeah
A B E
Some things that glitter may be gold

Ooooo ooo yeah
A B* Cmaj7 B E
Some things that glitter may be gold
