WEEZER - "Butterfly" Tablature

#

Butterfly - By Weezer (Rivers Cuomo)
------------------------------------

As performed on their second album, Pinkerton (track 10).

Tabbed by Mark Carroll (rcarroll@axionet.com).

Okay, Weezer fans, time to get down and dirty.
Here's the chords and my own bastardization of the lyrics.
Some of this is pulled from when I saw them in concert here in
Vancouver (as in B.C., Canada). By the way, if you get a
chance to see a live show, do it. It is an incredible experience.
Anyway, on with the song.

Verse 1:
G Em C
Yesterday I went outside
D? G
With my Mother's Mason jar
Em C *
Caught a lovely butterfly
G Em C
When I woke up today
D? G
Looked in on my fairy pet
Em C *
She had withered all away
D7
No more sighing in her breast

Chorus:
G
I'm sorry for what I did
Em C
I did what my body told me to
D G
I didn't mean to do you harm
G7 C D
Every time I pin down what I think I want
G
It slips away
Em C5
And oh it slips away

Verse 2:
Smell you on my hands for days
Couldn't wash away the scent
I'm a dog and you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
To excite my fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly

Chorus

Verse 3:
G Em C
I told you that I'd return
D? G
When the robin builds his nest
Em C *
But I ain't never comin' back

End part:
G
I'm sorry
Em
I'm sorry
C5 G
I'm sorry.


That's about it, except for that little ditty where the stars are.
It goes something like this:

B----3--1--0-----0--:
