BUTTERFLY – Jason Mraz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kengus
This refers to the acoustic version off the We Dance EP. And this is 
as close as I can get it. I put the chords I use at the end, so scroll 
down. Mraz likes to mix it up, so the strumming, for instance, changes throughout 
the song. Have fun.
Standard tuning
Capo on first fret

[Verse 1]
           
   I’m taking
