       Queen Adreena - Butcher and the Butterfly
Tuning: EADGBe

[Verse 1]
E                         A           C
There is a finger missing on my right hand
E                         A           C
A butcher's hand in a butterfly wing span
E                         A              C
The sky hangs on a thread as I paint the white picket fence red
E                 A         C
Said "Am I alive or am I dead?"

[Verse 2]
E                   A           C        E    A   C
I caught a rainbow tear in her sunset smile
E                  A           C        E    A   C
I told the broken bird of my unborn child
E                    A      C          E    A   C
These blood-stained walls crown her head
E           A            C         E    A   C
I found my girl bleeding in his bed

[Chorus]
A          G                  E
The angels cried in butterfly red
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A             G               E
Her wings are torn, my baby's dead
(The butcher and the butterfly)

[Verse 3]
E         A           C         E    A   C
I put my girl in the butcher's hand
E           A       C            E    A   C
"She is my curse," cried fireman Sam
E            A        C         E    A   C
Heaven down below inscribes her name
E              A          C           E    A   C
My baby girl's lost in amongst these flames

[Chorus]
A          G                  E
The angels cried in butterfly red
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A             G               E
Her wings are torn, my baby's dead
(The butcher and the butterfly)
E
Oh heaven, help me what have I done?
E                               C    E    E    C
I kissed the daughter of my unborn son

[Interlude]
E   E   E   A   G
E   A   C

[Verse 4]
E               A     C         E    A   C
Heaven down below inscribed her name
E           A             C      E    A   C
Let heaven, heaven rain down again

[Chorus]
A          G                  E
The angels cried in butterfly red
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A             G               E
Her wings are torn, my baby's dead
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A          G                  E
The angels cried in butterfly red
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A             G               E
Her wings are torn, my baby's dead
(The butcher and the butterfly)
