The Byrds   Tribal Gathering  by Chris Hillman/David Crosby


5/4  3  beats Dm 2 beats C

Dm                             C
She'll hand to you a stick of sandalwood
Dm                              C
A little smile and then she'll disappear
Dm                   C
Back into a crowd of happy people
Dm                      C
Looking like they never came from here
Fmaj 7           G            Fmaj7th  G   Fmaj7th  G
Strange thing, gathering of tribes
Fmaj 7           G            Fmaj7th  G   Fmaj7th  G
Strange thing, gathering of tribes
Dm                   C
A Macedonian-looking pilot comes
Dm                   C
A' laughing and just a joke
Dm                     C
But when the motorcycle engine comes
Dm                           C
You sit and talk awhile and share a smoke
Fmaj 7           G            Fmaj7th  G
Strange thing, gathering of tribes
Fmaj 7           G            Fmaj7th  G   Fmaj7th  G
Strange thing, gathering of tribes

E     D  E      E        D    E   Fmajth G   Fmajth  G

Dm                     C
Pretty little whirling butterfly
Dm                          C
All the prettiest girls go dancing by
Dm                         C
Caught up in the sound of talking drums
Dm                     C
Lost itself out in the wheel of sound
Fmaj 7           G            Fmag7th  G
Strange thing, gathering of tribes
Fmaj 7           G            Fmaj7th  G   Fmaj7th  G
Strange thing, gathering of tribes
