[Verse 1]
Blackbird, Blackbird, Gflyin' late
AmGrease in the pot and Gash in the grate
They Fbarred the door and they shut the Cgate
They got no Fplace for Gme
[Verse 2]
The Cbottle's empty and my Ghead is sore
I Amdon't know where I've Gbeen before
FBar your gate and Cshut your door
The FBlackbird's Gflying Cfree
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Where have I been to? GI don't know
AmBroken fiddle and Gcrooked bow
FHoles in my boots and I'm Cwalkin' slow
As the last long Fshadows Gfall
[Verse 4]
The Cboat I sailed, laid Gdown in the tide
The Amhorse I stole, got Glame and died
I Fdon't need a friend and I don't want a Cbride
The FBlackbird Gknows it Call
[Instrumental]
C G Am G F C F G C
[Verse 5]
What's this song the GBlackbird hears?
I Amsowed my days and I Greaped my years
A Fbasket of sins and a Cbucket of tears
And I can't come Fin to Gstay
[Verse 6]
My Clife's a tale that GI don't tell
I Amdid my worst and I Gdid it well
I Fnever get to heaven, but I Cstayed out of hell
And Fstill I'm Gon my Cway
[Instrumental]

[Verse 7]
Where am I goin' to Gsleep tonight?
I Amcan't turn left, and I Gwon't turn right
Where the Froad goes on in the Ccold moonlight
And the lonely FBlackbird Gcries
[Verse 8]
CI'm going to sleep in a Glonely bed
With Amwhite and whiter Glinen spread
A Fcold grey stone at my Cfoot and head
And Fpennies Gon my Ceyes
[Instrumental]
C Dm F C F G C
[Outro]
I'm going to sleep in a Glonely bed
With Amwhite and whiter Glinen spread
A Fcold grey stone at my Cfoot and head
And Fpennies Gon my Ceyes
