B B/G BListen to my bluebird laugh
B B/G BShe can't tell you why
B B/G BDeep within her heart you see
C B/G B C B/G B C B/G BShe 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
BSo get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
C B/GAnd each is differently used, you just know
BYou sit there mesmorized by the depth of her eyes
C B/GIf you could catagorize, she got soul
C B/G C B/G BShe 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?
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 BCBBGB, 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 B, G and so forth. There are so many
overdubbed guitars it's hard to tell what's going on.
