G G/B D
Listen to my bluebird laugh
G G/B D
She can't tell you why
G G/B D
Deep within her heart you see
C G/B D C G/B D C G/B D
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
D
So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
C G/B
And each is differently used, you just know
D
You sit there mesmorized by the depth of her eyes
C G/B
If you could catagorize, she got soul
C G/B C G/B D
She got soul, she got soul, she got soul
RIFF 1
RIFF 2 (during lyrics)
Do you think she loves you
Do you think at all?
G O (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.
