Black bird, why you wearin' that frown?

Well, don't ya know Jesus loves you and me
and the preacher on TV you're puttin' down?
D
Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs.

                    G                F
Well, I could spend all my time in the shade of a tree
And listen all day long.

               F                  C
Whoa but your ever hearing, never understanding,

       G                                 D
Yea I see you're not percieving and your heart has grown calloused

F                       C
You're in a storm and lost your way,

           G
Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today.
Verse 2
D
Blackbird, now you've broken your wings.

               G
You try to fly high, but you know that

     F
You can't go anywhere, you can't do anything.

D
Blackbird, who put you in your cage?

                G
Tell me was it God or was it you

         F
Or was it me, well I guess it don't matter anyway.

D
You say you need a rememdy,
For the thorn in your pride
                         F
I think it's such a tragedy

          G    F    D
That you left Him behind!

D
You say you light your candle
But your love light doesn't shine.
                       G
You say you talk to angels

        G          F     D
Well, I say that's such a lie.
