    I'm trying to tab this out on banjo. I'll post what I get and welcome any and all corrections or criticisms. Since it's not a banjo tune (although I read sonewhere that it was, originally), we have some leeway.

    Winter's Come And Gone
    Gillian Welch/David Rawlings
    Hell Among The Yearlings - song 11
    Capo 3     Intro G x8
    hammer 2nd fret A & D

    G Oh little red bird
    Come to my window sill
    Been so lonesome
    Shaking that morning Em chill
    G Oh little red bird
    Open your mouth and say
    Been so lonesome
    just about flown away
        Chorus
    C So long now G I've been out
    In the rain and snow
    But winter's come and gone
    A little bird told me so
        Break G (x 32)
    G Oh little blue bird
    Pearly feather breast
    Five cold nickels all I got Em left
    G Oh little blue bird
    What am I gonna do
    Five cold nickels
    Ain't gonna see me through

    C So long now G I've been out
    In the rain and snow
    But winter's come and gone
    A little bird told me so
    C - G
    BREAK G (x 32)

    G Oh little black bird
    On my wire line
    Dark as trouble
    In this heart of Em mine
    G Poor little black bird
    Sings a worried song
    Dark as trouble
    ’Til winter's come and gone

    C So long now G I've been out
    In the rain and snow
    But winter's come and gone
    A little bird told me so

    C So long now G I've been out
    In the rain and snow
    But winter's come and gone
    A little bird told me so
