A cantora/compositora canadense Basia Bulat tornou-se uma das mais faladas do mundo indie sobre recém-chegados com o lançamento de seu primeiro álbum de estúdio, Oh, My Darling de 2007. Originalmente de Toronto, Basia depois se restabeleceu na mais quieta comunidade de Londres, Ontario, onde ela gravou um EP auto-lançado em 2005. Sua rica e expressiva voz provou ser o veículo ideal para suas canções, que lidavam com amor e vida com uma combinação de tristeza e admiração
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern (pluck the G string and strums down twice for a simple version). For the last line of the intro to the chorus, in the line "One day the one you battle might be me", on "me" she plays a C and afterwards an Am along with the C, and then slides her finger up 1 fret from the Am and back again, maintaining the hold on the C: C, Am/C, Am+1/C, Am/C. In chart form it looks like this:
FDm If I was not afraid to meet BbF then I might live in peace ADm I'd give away my wooden ears G7BbF help you teach your frozen lips to speak
FDm You have not stolen here BbF but you can hardly sleep ADm The horns and shells you've gathered here G7BbCAm/C, Am+1/C, Am/C one day the one you battle might be me
DmF Blackbird go lost BbFCAm/C, Am+1/C, Am/C I will bring her back to you in spring DmF She won't change at all BmF (CAm/C, Am+1/C,) Am/C (Repeat), single strum C let your sparrow fall to what might be
FDm And when you've done your howling BbF and done with everything ADm if she is gone for months again G7BbF will you still say you watch for sparrow wings
FDm You have not stolen dear BbF but I can plainly see ADm the horns and shells you're holding here G7BbCAm/C, Am+1/C, Am/C one day the one you battle might be me
DmF Blackbird go lost BbFCAm/C, Am+1/C, Am/C I will bring her back to you in spring DmF She won't change at all BbFCAm/C, Am+1/C, Am/C let your sparrow fall to what might be
DmF She won't change at all BbF let your sparrow fall DmF She won't change at all BbF let your sparrow fall
