G
There was a howl that night
G                            C
A howling like they'd never heard before
   D      D7                      C        D
A cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door
D           G
He said "I love this child
G                           C
As much as any one that she ever bore
       D         D7                         G
But I thank the Lord we won't be having any more"

G
Then the baby heard
G                       C
The sweetest sound he'd ever heard
   D           D7
In tones so beautiful
           C       D
He hung on every word
           G
She sang "Hush my love
G                              C
Granny's little dove is gonna take to the sky"
       D          D7                             G
It was on such a night he learned to fly like a bird

G        C
Now the years have passed
                       G
And memories come and go
   C         
He hears that voice
C                       D    D7
That rocked him gently so
  G
A calm will descend And there's peace at the end
        C
Of the darkest night
 D           D7
Sometimes I cry
                        G
Sometimes I fly like a bird

(Accordion Break)

G        C
Now the years have passed
                      G
And memories come and go
   C
He hears that voice
C                      D   D7
That rocked him gently so
          G
Well the rains gonna fall And the winds may blow
         C
On the darkest night
  D         D7
Sometimes I cry
                       G
Sometimes I fly like a bird

  G
A calm will descend And there's peace at the end
        C
Of the darkest night
  D         D7
Sometimes I cry
                       G
Sometimes I fly like a bird 

(End with accordion)
