BLUEBIRD- Buffalo Springfield
TUNING:
Listen to my bluebird laugh
She can't tell you why
Deep within her heart you see
She knows only cryin', just cryin', yeah
There she sits, a lofty perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
She thinks only of you, just you, awww
So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
And each is differently used, you just know
You sit there mesmorized by the depth of her eyes
If you could catagorize, she got soul
She got soul, she got soul, she got soul

RIFF 2 (during lyrics)
Do you think she loves you
Do you think at all?
SOLO (stop, RIFF 3, stop again, begin with banjo)
Soon she's going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Fill herself a bath of tears
And go home, and go home

NOTE: This is very rough. Any improvements are welcome. It's not
immediately obvious that the song is in DADGBD, but I read Crosby
mentioning that as an aside in an interview. I didn't include the chords
because I'm not at all sure about the figurings, there being so many
slightly different ways to play D, G and so forth. There are so many
overdubbed guitars it's hard to tell what's going on.
