Chords For 'Bird Song' by The Grateful Dead
Intro/Riff: D7--C-D7--C-D7
D7 Riff
All I heard was something like a bird within her sing,
D7 Riff
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on,
Bb F C G D7 Riff
Tell me all that you know and I'll show you snow and rain.
If you hear that same sweet song again will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by.
Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark, fly through the night.
[Bm]Don't cry [A]now, [G]don't [D]you [A]cry, [G]don't [D]you [A]cry anymor[G]e, la da da d[D]a.
[Bm] [A] [G] [D] [A] [G] [D] [A] [G]
[D]Slee[D7]p in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind, la da da
da, da.
Just a note, I believe this is the version on "Garcia," in D, early live
versions were also in D but switched to E...
