  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        A    G     D   A    G     D   A         G            D
  Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore, la da da da.
   
  Bm           A      G     D   A    G   D    A           G             
  D   D7
  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...
