GListen G/Bto my bluebDird laugh
GShe can't G/Btell you wDhy
DGeep witG/Bhin her heDart you see
SChe kG/Bnows only crDyin', C G/B just crDyin',C G/B yDeah
There she sits, a lofty perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
She thinks only of you, just you, awww
SDo get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
And each is differently used, you just kCnowG/B
You sit there mesDmorized by the depth of her eyes
If you could catagorize, she got sCoulG/B
She got soCulG/B, she got sCouG/Bl, she got sDoul
RIFF 1
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.
