I'd love to see this one too.

I play it capoed on 2 but obviously if you want to be play it straight, in D, then you can do.

 

 

(Capo 2nd fret)

 

I had © nothing to say (F) on Christmas © day

When (C/B) you (Am) threw all your (G) clothes in the © snow

When you burnt your hair, (F) knocked over © chairs

I (C/B) just (Am) tried to stay (G) out of your © way

 

But © when you fell asleep (F) with blood on your © teeth

I (C/B) got (Am) in my (F) car and drove a © way

 

© Listen to me, Butter (F) fly

There's (F) only so much © wine

You (C/B) can (Am) drink in one (F) life

And it will (F) never be e C) nough

To (C/B) save you (Am) from the (F) bottom of your © glass.

 

And so on for...

 

Where the state highway starts I stopped my car

I got out and stared up at the stars

As meteors died and shot cross the sky

I thought about your sad, shining eyes

 

I came back for my clothes when the sun finally rose

But you were still passed out on the floor

 

 

Hope that's of some use to somebody. Great song.

[Lance]

Butterfly is in G (no capo). Basic chords being G, C, Em, with a D thrown in the second line. It makes the walk down from G to Em after the last chorus much easier...

There are only so many times I can listen to this song

In one life

And it will never be enough

To save me

From its end

This seems pretty close to how Brett Sparks plays this in concert...

I'm with Lance on this one. The D chord only shows up twice when Jeff plays it: on the words "clothes" and "stared" (up at the stars). Depending on your vocal range, you might find it easier playing the same chords with the capo on the 6th fret (believe it or not).

So you play, Josh? I'll expect your multitalented self on our next tribute album.

Oh, I play alright - singing is another story though. I only sing when there's nobody in a 50ft radius. If I lived in the city, cats would throw shoes at ME.

Cats wear shoes?!

 

I don't believe you, you probably have a lovely singing voice. But you could always team up with someone else doing the singing, if you wanted to.
