Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 Black bird, why you wearin' that frown?

 Well, don't ya know Jesus loves you and me

and the preacher on TV your puttin' down?

 Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs.

 Well, I could spend all my time in the shade of a tree

And listen all day long.

  Whoa yeah

  I could listen

  All day long

Chorus

 Whoa but your ever hearing, never understanding,

 Yea I see you're not percieving and your heart has grown calloused

 You're in a storm and lost your way,

 Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today.

Verse 2

 Blackbird, now you've broken your wings.

 You try to fly high, but you know that

 You can't go anywhere, you can't do anything.

 Blackbird, who put you in your cage?

 Tell me was it God or was it you

 Or was it me, well I guess it don't matter anyway.

  Whoa no no

  It don't matter

  No no anyway

Chorus

  Whoa yeah

I'm sorry...I don't know this!)

X5

You say you need a rememdy,

For the thorn in your pride

 I think it's such a tragedy

 That you left Him behind!

You say you light your candle

But your love light doesn't shine.

 You say you talk to angels

 Well, I say that's such a lie.

  Yes it is now

  such a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

Chorus

  Whoa yeah

  Blackbird
