little wing...

First tried to learn this from an Eric Clapton songbook never knowing that Jimi had already cut the definitive version.
now working through Jimi's version to cop the changes.
very subtle and I wonde
r why I am still doing this when my ears are getting tired.
bummer.



"Little Wing"

Well, she's walking through the clouds,
With a circus mind that's running wild,
Butterflies and Zebras,
And Moonbeams and fairy tales.
That's all she ever thinks about.
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me,
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
It's alright, she says it's alright,
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.
Fly on little wing.
