Little White Cloud that Cried
Johnny Ray (1951)
This is my first.  It's based on my ear and watching some guy butcher/cover it on 
YouTube.  This is for my Mom and Dad.
CI went walkin' doDmwn by the river
G6Feeling very saCd inside
CWhen all at once I saw in the sDmky
G6The little white cloud that Ccried
CHe told me he was very lDmonesome
G6And no one cared if he liveCd or died
CAnd said sometimes the thunder Dmand lightning
G6Make all little Cclouds hiDmde
Am7He said "Have faith in all kiDmnds of weather"
Am7"For the sun will Calways shine"G  
C"Do your best and always Gremember"
G6"The dark clouds pass Cwith time"G  
CHe asked me if I'd tell aDmll the world
CJust how hard those little clouds Dmtry
G6That's how I know I'll always Am7remember
CThe little white cloud thaDmt sat right down anAm7d criedG
