Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose.
Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley.

Dream Letter (Tim Buckley)
TIM BUCKLEY >From Happy/Sad, 1968
GmEbEbsus4AbBbG Lady time fly away CmEbDmDm/ABbCAmGmCF I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday FCGDm Oh, please listen darlin' to my empty prayers AmCDm Sleep inside my dreams tonight AmCDmAmGmDm All I need to know tonight are you and my child
FCGDm Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer? AmCDm Is he mama's little man? AmCDm Does he help you when he can? AmGmDm Or does he ask about me?
FCGDm Just like a soldier boy I been out fighting wars AmCDm That the world never knows about AmCDm But I never win them loud AmGmDm There's no crowds around me
FCGDm But when I get to thinkin' about the old days AmCDm When love was here to stay AmCDm I wonder if we'd ever tried AmGmDmCDm Oh, what I'd give to hold him
