A               Dbm     D            A
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    D                A      Gbm        B7               E7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
A             Dbm    D                 A
Little jackie paper loved that rascal Puff,
    D                       A       Gbm      B7         E7
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh


A               Dbm     D            A
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    D                A      Gbm        B7               E7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
A               Dbm     D            A
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    D                A      Gbm        B7               E7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.


A                   Dbm     D              A
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
    D             A       Gbm         B7              E7
And Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail,
A               Dbm            D                 A
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
D                  A           Gbm         B7                 E7
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name. oh!


A               Dbm     D            A
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    D                A      Gbm        B7               E7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
A               Dbm     D            A
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    D                A      Gbm        B7               E7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
  A            Dbm          D             A
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
D                 A     Gbm         B7            E7
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
A                 Dbm        D            A
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
    D                A       Gbm B7                  E7
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.


    A                Dbm      D                      A
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
D              A       Gbm   B7               E7
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
    A                 Dbm      D                 A
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
   D                A       Gbm B7               E7
So Puff that mighty dragon, he slipped into his cave. oh!


A               Dbm     D            A
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    D                A      Gbm        B7               E7
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
A               Dbm     D            A
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    D                A      Gbm        B7             A     D   A
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

This was my childhood

this song makes me cry even thinking bout it

{UkuleleLover}

Hello! Can someone please tell me the strumming pattern they used? Thank you 😀

babey_f1nn

+five sounds really good and is the easiest out of all of them

Joanne

I vote for +3. I am beginner. feeling comfortable with C chord songs atm.

Jim Garner

Hi, this is a good job on a somewhat complex song.
A note or two of correction:
Dbm and Gbm are not chords on the A scale. Technically speaking these should be C#m and F#m, which are. (same chord, different name) Also, B7 is the wrong chord it should be Bm.
Thus: A, C#m, D, A, D, A, F#m, Bm, E7 is the correct form for the first part.
The second part is the same, but it returns to A at the end. (which you missed) E7 on ‘Fancy’, A on ‘Stuff’ then, (optionally) play E7 on ‘Oh’ to transition to the chorus.

As a note, the song was sung in the key of G by the group, and published for Guitar in G. The following is the correct chord progression in G:
G, Bm, C, G, C, G, Em, Am, D7
G, Bm, C, G, C, G, Em, Am, D7, G

On Uke, however, the A fingerings are easier, if you can sing it that high.

+3

Dee

agree, +3 is so much easier. I’m a beginner and this uses chords I know. Thsnj You

bookwormcho

+3 is great! I think it sounds better with the “Hawaiian” fingering of D7, though. (Hold down the G and E strings on the second fret)

Sevanah

It is much easier with +3, and with a capo on the third fret, also instead of Am-D7-G7, just go from Am to G
