(A)Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky
(D)I closed my eyes to look for something
Saw myself as really nothing
(A)Then I realised my butterfly
(E)Wasn't really up there with me
(D)We all make mistakes, forgive me
(A)Would you like to ride my butterfly (E)

(A)Riding on a long blue paperplane
Getting seasick, sorry once again
(D)Landing strip is getting nearer
Hope the fog lifts, make it clearer
(A)Then I realised my paperplane
(E)Wasn't really up there with me
(D)We all make mistakes, forgive me
(A)Would you like to ride my paperplane (E)

(A)Riding in a three grand Deutche car
A to B is often very far
(D)Home is near, but such a long way
Legs and heads all feel the wrong way
(A)Then I realised my Deutche car
(E)Is only there to get me somewhere
(D)Even so I really do care
(A)Would you like to ride my Deutche car

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 1
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord B
B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: B ↔ A
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
