The Bbreason that I Dmfly by night
Is Ambecause I've lost my Gmheart's delight."

CHowdy dowdy Gmdiddle-dum day
EbHowdy dowdy Bbdiddle-dum Cday
EbHey le Bblee-lee Clie-lee Gmlow
Gm"I" said the blackbird Bbsittin' on a chair
"FOnce I courted a Gmlady, fair
FShe proved fickle and Dmturned her back
AmAnd ever since then I've Gmdressed in black."
[Refrain]
"GmI" said the woodpecker Bbsittin' on a fence
"FOnce I courted a Gmhandsome wench
BbShe got scared and Dmfrom me fled
AmAnd ever since then my Gmhead's been red."

"FI'll tell you how to Gmwin her love
BbCourt her night and Gmcourt her day
AmNever give her time to Gmsay o-neigh!"

"FIf I were a young man GmI'd have two
BbIf one were faithless and Dmchanced to go
AmI'd add the other string Gmto my bow"
