[Verse 1]
G                        C
Gulf coast highway, he worked the rails

                                                C
He worked the rice fields with their cool, dark wells

              Em              D            G
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico

           C                G               D                G
The only thing we've ever owned is this old house here by the road

            Em                 D                      G
And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing

             C           G                 D                G
And he will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Bluebonnet spring.
[Verse 2]
G                              C
She walked through springtime when I was home

                                      C
Our days were sweet, our nights were warm

             Em                     D                  G
The seasons changed, the jobs would come, the flowers fade

          C              G              D            G
And this house felt so alone, when the work took me away

             Em                 D                      G
And when she dies he says she'll catch some blackbird's wing

             C           G                 D                G
And she will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Bluebonnet spring.

G                C
Highway 90, the jobs are gone now

                                   C
We tend our garden and we set the sun
[Garden Interlude]
         C       G     D           Em
Let the songs I sing, bring joy to You

          C       G            D
Let the words I say profess my love

          C       G          D           Em
Let the notes I choose, be Your favorite tune

     C               D            G
And Father let my heart be after You
[Verse 3 Cont.]
             Em           D                  G
This is the only place on earth Blue Bonnets grow

           C                  G              D                  G
And once a year they come and go at this old house here by the road

            Em                 D                      G
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing

             C           G                 D                G
And we will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Bluebonnet spring.
[Outro]
            Em                 D                      G
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing

             C           G                 D                G
And we will fly away together, come some sweet Bluebonnet spring.
[Garden Outro]
         C       G     D           Em
Let the songs I sing, bring joy to You

          C       G            D
Let the words I say profess my love

          C       G          D           Em
Let the notes I choose, be Your favorite tune

     C               D            G
And Father let my heart be after You

     C               D            G
And Father let my heart be after You
