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.
