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.
 BmAGDAGDAGD
 Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore, la da da da.
 DD7
 Sleep 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...
