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.

Sing a Song for You (Buckley)
TIM BUCKLEY From Happy Sad, 1968
F#Bbm In my heart is where I long for you BF# In my smile I search for you (F#) BbmB Each time you turn and run away I cry inside F#EEb My silly way, just too young to know any more
F#Bbm In my world the devil dances and dares BF To leave my soul just anywhere (F#) Bbm Until I find peace in this world BF# I'll sing a song everywhere I can EEb Just too young to know any more
G#BF# The wind covers me cold G#BF# The starry skies all around my eyes G#BF# Far behind the city moans GBF# Well worthy of the people there EEb Oh, the psalms they love to hear
F#Bbm So let me sing a song for you BF# Just to help your day along (F#) Bbm Let me sing a song for you BF# One I've known so very long EEb Oh, please could you find the time
