Everything you do is true as long as you believe it

And everything you say is play and that's how you should treat it

And everyone is high until there`s something makes them low

That`s when you should stay, that`s not the time to go 
No, no, no, no, no, no 
Em                              A7                 D
That's when you should stay and let your love just flow...

| F#      B              F#        B
   Lady lady won't you come here quick 

     F#         B       F#        B
This whisky and wine is making me sick 

  F#       B         F#         B

And it could take all night to get a single thing right 

         B                    C            D
It could take all day to find something to say



VERSE2:
Ask me a question and I`ll tell you a lie 
Ask me another, I`ll spit in your eye 
Don`t like to leave you but I know I can`t stay 
So just keep loving in your butterfly way 


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE3:
Too much and too many things on my mind 
Can`t make a story of things I can`t find 
Rock and roll music playing in my head 
Gonna keep on dancing till I drop down dead 



CHORUS:
It could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say


[Instrumental over VERSE & CHORUS chords]


VERSE4:
Lady lady won`t you come here quick 
'Cause these evil drugs are making me sick 
I want you now and I don`t care why 
You crazy beautiful butterfly 


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE5:
Magical Margaret, you know you`re so high above 
You fill my head with music, my heart with love 


[repeat CHORUS]


Magical Margaret...
Magical butterfly
