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 hide this tab RIFF 1: RIFF 2: (bass notes with playing D) D ---0--0--0--0--------------------- ----------------| B --0--0--0--0---------------------- ----------------| G -5--5--5--5--5/2-0h2-0------------ ----------------| D -----------------------3p0---0---- -0------------0-| A ---------------------------3------ -------0h3--3---| D ---------------------------------- ---0------------| RIFF 3: (strum) D -0-----------0-------------0-------| B ---2h3p2-------2-----------1-------| G ---------2-------2-0-------0-------| D ---------------------4--0--2-------| A ---------------------------3-------| D -----------------------------------|
