My Blackbird Is Gone
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
C# G# C#
She had the soul of an angel, she had a heart that was true,
G#
Her lips were sweet as the humming birds mouth,
C#
All filled with a sweet honey dew.
G# C#
She taught me how to be humble, she taught me how to pray,
G#
I thought I would die when she said good bye,
Fm C#
And they carried my blackbird a-way.
[Chorus]
F#
My blackbird is gone my blackbird is gone,
G# C#
My blackbird is gone a-way, they came with a chain,
F# A#m G# C#
They called her sweet names, they carried my blackbird a-way.
[Instrumental]
F# C# G# C#
[Verse 2]
C# G# C#
List to the roar of the cannon, look at the battle ar-ray,
G#
It's all because of the tears that I shed,
C#
When they carried my blackbird a-way.
G#
Angels are singing in heaven hushed their sweet songs,
C#
When they heard the cries of my heart,
G# Fm C#
When they tore me apart from the arms of my pretty blackbird.
[Chorus]
F#
My blackbird is gone my blackbird is gone,
G# C#
My blackbird is gone a-way, they came with a chain,
F# G# C#
They called her sweet names, they carried my blackbird a-way.
[Ending]
F#
My blackbird is gone my blackbird is gone,
G# C#
I'll never forget that sad day, they came with a chain,
F# G# C#
They called her sweet names, they carried my blackbird a-way.
