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.
