Dmaj7 Amaj7
All her friends call her Little Wing
Dmaj7 Amaj7
But she flies rings around them all
Dmaj7 Amaj7
She comes to town when the children sing
Dmaj7 Amaj7
And leaves them feather if they fall
Dmaj7 Amaj7
She leaves her feathers if they fall
Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Little Wing, don't fly away

The Winter is the best time of them all?
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Winter is the best of all.

version 3
Tuning: DADGBe (capo 1st fret!)
This is how I play this song. Sometimes Neil plays the Amaj7 with F# as the bass note, which
is optional in my opinion.
Harmonica intro:
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

And leaves them feathers if they fall
Dmaj7 Amaj7
She leaves her feathers if they fall
Interlude:
Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Little Wing, don't fly away
Dmaj7 Amaj7
When the summer turns to fall
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Don't you know some people say
Dmaj7 Amaj7
The winter is the best time of them all
Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
Winter is the best of all
Harmonica outro:
Amaj7 Dmaj7 (repeat as the song fades)

The strumming is nigh-on untababable, but play with it and get the feel that Neil gets
with his palm mute/strum/fingerstyle.
