Am
Eyes to take you dancing,

Dm/A
Mouth to leave your wife,

G5                     Em
Legs to run away with, and you wonder why

Am                          Dm/A
Heart that makes you bypass every other girl

G5                                   Em
Smile that keeps you grinning at the madness of this world
[Chorus]
             Am               Em
And like the blackbird on the wire

Am              Em
I will not take prey on you,

Em           Am
You wouldn't want me to

            B               Em
For I'm too soft for such a thing

             Am               Em
And like the blackbird on the wire

Am     Em
I just watch you by

Em          Am
The tears I knew I'd cry

       B              Em
Fall unnoticed down below
[Verse 2]
Am
And with a tongue built from quick silver

Dm/A
And a character of steel

G5                     Em
They actually come and ask me how I feel
[Interlude] Am Dm/A G5 Em Am Em Am Em Em Am B Em Am Em Am Em Em Am B Em [Chorus]
             Am               Em
And like the blackbird on the wire

Am              Em
I will not take prey on you,

Em           Am
You wouldn't want me to

            B               Em
For I'm too soft for such a thing

             Am               Em
And like the blackbird on the wire

Am     Em
I just watch you by

Em          Am
The tears I knew I'd cry

       B              Em
Fall unnoticed down below
[Outro]
Am
down below,

Am
down below,

Am
