Blackbird Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I was walking down [G]Dean Street,
headed nowhere at all
Aimlessly strolling through Soho,
when the rain began to fall
Alright nutty boy she said,
[B]pas[C]sing me on Dean Street[Eb]
[G]She's striding through the puddles,
[B]on bla[C]ck sti[Eb]lettoed feet
[G]Guitar over one shoulder,
[B]swirling swa[G]gger in her[B] stride
In [G]a well- appointed pencil skirt,
[B]That maybe, just [C]maybe 18 inches [Eb]wide

[Verse 2]
[G]The voice of fallen angel[B]s
Lost [C]lovers in the [Eb]night
[G]A blackbird on the win[B]g
Now only [C]fallen angels [Eb]sing

[Verse 3]
[G]She looked back at me and[B] smiled
She winked one deep black
[C]mascara [Eb]eye
Well I narrowly [G]missed [B]the lamppost
As [G]I made to make my [B]reply
A black [G]taxi splashes diesel
rainbows [B]through the neon air
Behind [C]fishnet stocking
[Eb]by hydraulic derriere

[Verse 4]
[G]The voice of fallen angel[B]s
Lost [C]lovers in the [Eb]night
[G]A blackbird on the[B] wing
Now only [C]fallen angels [Eb]sing

[Verse 5]
[G]That guitar over one shoulder
[B]Just a glimpse of [C]pink
La [Eb]Pearla Bra
Glowing in [G]the mist round Wanny Scots
[B]There she goes,
[C]c'est la trois tro[Eb]is
[G]We briefly faced each other,
[B]then she[C] turned and walked awa[Eb]y
And the [G]rain lashed down on Dean
[B]Street, on that [C]black and mournful day,
[G]hey

[Verse 6]
The voice of fallen an[B]gels
Lost [C]lovers in the [Eb]night
[G]A blackbird on the win[Em]g[B]
Now only [C]fallen angels sing,
[Eb]sing

[Interlude 1]
[E][Ab][A][C][E][Ab][A][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]The voice of fallen angel[B]s
Lost [C]lovers in the [Eb]night
[Cm]A bl[G]ackbird on the w[B]ing
Only [C]fallen angels [Eb]sing

[Verse 8]
[G]A blackbird on the w[Em]ing[B]
Only [C]fallen angels [Eb]sing
Fallen angels sing
Fallen angels sing
Fallen angels [G]sing
