Tragic songs?

There are a handful of Grateful Dead songs (and covers) that are so emotionally evocative that they inevitably reduce my 50-something ass to a weepy little girl, and I kinda love it.

The best examples I have off the top of my head are “Must Have Been The Roses”, “China Doll”, and “Sing Me Back Home”.

Dear friends of the r/gratefuldead community: please suggest to me some more songs that are guaranteed to make me ugly cry.
