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.

(as verse) And with a tongue built from quick silver And a character of steel They actually come and ask me how I feel interlude: verse chords once then chorus chords once (as chorus) And like the blackbird on the wire I will not take prey on you, You wouldn't want me to For I'm too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears I knew I'd cry Fall unnoticed down below,

Am
down below,

down below, down below. (to Fade)
