Song is in 3/4 time
[Intro]
E E Bm E A D E A
[Verse 1]
A D A
The blackbird she flies wherever she wants to
Bm A
The mockingbird singing, oh, any old song
D A
And the swallow she's nesting in the rafters of my house
Bm E A
Summer is coming and the geese are all gone
Bm E
You got to fly and let fly
[Verse 2]
A D A
Ah, the mower's broke down and the yard's run away with me
Bm D A
I've taken to sitting and just watching it grow
D A
And the rabbits are eating like kings in the driveway
Bm E A
And I've just about found me no place to go
Bm E
You've got to live and let live
[Chorus]
E Bm E
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens
A D E A
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes
E Bm E
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme
A D E A
And we can go crazy, tomorrow's just fine
[Verse 3]
A
I'm going to sit on the front porch
D A
Until the lightning bugs show up
Bm D A
And it really gets dark and there's dogs in the trash
D A
It's the first and the last time all rolled into this time
Bm E A
You make me feel like I just took a bath
Bm E
You got to laugh and let laugh
[Chorus]
E Bm E
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens
A D E A
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes
E Bm E
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme
A D E A
And we can go laughin' any old time
[Bridge]
Bm E
You got to love and let love
A D E A
And we can go lovin' any ol' time
Bm E
You got to fly and let fly
[Outro]
A D E A
