Intro:
G C D G

Verse 1: 
G
 There was a howl that night
                          C
A howling like they never  heard before
  D                                C            
A  cry so loud old granddad almost  hit the door (D)
            G                                            C
He said, "I  love this child as much as any one that she  ever bore,
      D                                      G
But I  thank the Lord we won't be having any  more."
 
Verse 2:
                                            C
Then the baby heard the sweetest sound he'd  ever heard
   D                              C          
In  tones so beautiful he hung on  every word (D)
          G                                                 C
She sang,  "Hush, my love, granny's little dove is going to  take to the sky."
       D                                         G
It was  on such a night he learned to fly like a  bird.
 
|Chorus 1:
|        C                                        G
|Now the  years have passed and memories come and  go
|   C                                        D   
|He  hears that voice that rocked him gently  so (D7)
|  G                                                      C
|A  calm will descend and there's peace at the end of the  darkest night
|    D                                   G
|Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a  bird.
