Ok...now the song...
Verse 1 E Black bird, why you wearin' that frown? AA/G Well, don't ya know Jesus loves you and me
and the preacher on TV your puttin' down? E Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs. AA/G Well, I could spend all my time in the shade of a tree
And listen all day long.
A-G-E Whoa yeah A-G-E I could listen A-G-E All day long A-G-E
Chorus GD Whoa but your ever hearing, never understanding, AE Yea I see you're not percieving and your heart has grown calloused GD You're in a storm and lost your way, A Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today.
Verse 2 E Blackbird, now you've broken your wings. A You try to fly high, but you know that A/G You can't go anywhere, you can't do anything. E Blackbird, who put you in your cage? A Tell me was it God or was it you A/G Or was it me, well I guess it don't matter anyway.
A-G-E Whoa no no A-G-E It don't matter A-G-E No no anyway A-G-E
Chorus

You say you need a rememdy,
For the thorn in your pride A I think it's such a tragedy AGE That you left Him behind!
You say you light your candle
But your love light doesn't shine. A You say you talk to angels AGE Well, I say that's such a lie.
A-G-E Yes it is now A-G-EA-G-EA-G-E such a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
Chorus
E-A Whoa yeah E-AE-A Blackbird
A-G-E A-G-E
If anyone knows the guitar solo, I am very interested in knowing what it is. But I am still a young musician, so I'm not really good at figuring that kind of stuff out. Well, God Bless! [email protected]
