 BLUEBIRD- Buffalo Springfield 
  
 TUNING: D A D G B D 
  
 D 
 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? 
  
 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.
