You are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

Your eyes sparkle as the stars, like the moon that glows
G Daug Dm C (*)
Your smile could light the world on fire...or did you know
G Daug Dm C (*)
Your mind's full of everything that I wanna know
Cm G
I just had to let you know
Cm G
I just had to tell you so
Cm G
You're my butterfly...flyin' high
Cm G
Flyin' high...fly, fly, fly...

Notes:
The chords here in the tab bits are only the down
strums taken from the album "Mama said", but it'll
sound great any way you play it.
This is dedicated to John "my guitar guru" Bradbury who taught me how to play
it, and especially to my love Sib who inspired me to learn to play guitar.
