A dragon lives for-ever but not so little boys.

One grey night it happened Jackie Paper came no more
(D) (A) (F#m)(B7) (E) (A)
And PUFF that mighty dragon he ceased his fearless roar.
(A) (C#m) (D) (A)
His head was bent in sorrow green scales fell like rain.
(D) (A) (F#m) (B7) (E)
PUFF no longer went to play a-long the cherry lane.

With-out his lifelong friend PUFF could not be brave

So PUFF that mighty dragon sadly slipped in-to his cave. Oh!
