INTRO: Am
              C        G             Am
Oh, can't you see that pretty little bird

             G       Em        Am
Singing with all his heart and soul?

           C         G           Am
He's got a blood red spot on his wing

            G             Am
And all the rest of him's black as coal

           C         G        Am
Of all the colours I ever did see

        G             Em     Am
Red and black are the ones I dread

           C          G            Am
For when a man spills blood on the coal

               G             Am
They carry him down from the coal mines dead
INSTRUMENTAL: Am D/A Am Em Am G D Am G Dsus2 Am
         C       G          Am
Oh, fly away you red-winged bird

        G        Em      Am
Leave behind the miner's wife

              C        G           Am
She'll dream about you when you're gone

              G        Am
She'll dream about you all her life

              C        G             Am
Oh, can't you see that pretty little bird

             G       Em        Am
Singing with all his heart and soul?

           C         G           Am
He's got a blood red spot on his wing

            G             Am
And all the rest of him's black as coal
