Blackbird Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Blackbird, why [D]you
wearing that frown?
Don't you know Je[G]sus
loves you and me
And the preacher on TV

[Verse 2]
you're putting down?
[D]Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs
But I could spend all [G]of
my time in the shade
Of the trees and listen all day [C]long[D]
Oh [G]yeah, [D]I could listen
all day long

[Verse 3]
[F]But you're ever [C]hearing,
never understanding
Ever [G]seeing, not per[D]ceiving and your
heart has grown callous
[F]You're in a [C]storm and lost your way
Won't you [G]fly to heaven and
be saved [D]today?

[Verse 4]
Blackbird, now you're [D]broken your wing
You try to fly high [G]but
you know that you
Can't go anywhere,
you can't do [D]anything

[Verse 5]
Blackbird, who put [D]you in your cage
Tell me, was it [G]God or was it
you or was it me?
Well I guess it don't matter [D]anyway
No no, it don't matter, no,
not [G]anyway[D]

[Verse 6]
[F]But you're ever [C]hearing,
never understanding
Ever [G]seeing,
not per[D]ceiving and your heart has grown callous
[F]You're in a sto[C]rm and lost your way
Won't you [G]fly to heaven
and be saved [D]today?
[G]Oh yea[D]h, bla[G]ckb[D]ird y[G]eah

[Verse 7]
You say [D]you need a remedy
For the thorn in your pride
I think it's such [G]a tragedy
That you have left Him [D]behind

[Verse 8]
You [D]say you'd light you candle
But your love light doesn't shine
You say you talk to an[G]gels
Well I say it's such [D]a l[G]ie[D]
Yes it is [C]now, [D]such a l[C]ie, lie[D], lie[G][D]

[Verse 9]
Oh [F]but you're ever [C]hearing,
never understanding
Ever [G]seeing, not per[D]ceiving and your
heart has grown callous
[F]You're in a [C]storm and lost you way
Won't you [G]fly to heaven
and be saved [D]today?
[G]Oh yea[D]h, bla[G]ck bi[D]rd [G]yeah
