[C#] [F#] [B] [G#m]
[F#] [B] [F#]
Blackbird sing a mournful song [B]
[F#] High and lonely in the [B] scarlet light of [G#m] dawn
[F#] Before those big wheels turn and take my [B] love away
[G#m] Take my [F#] love away [B] [F#] Winding river bring her home
Bring her back to [B] me and maybe she won't roam
[D#m] Far away [A#m] from the one who [B] loves her so [C#] The one who [F#] loves her [B] so
[F#] If I could catch her I would [A#m] run from [B] here to the [F#] Oklahoma line
[D#m] In the hopes that she [F#] might stop and [B] hear me cry
[G#] Hear [G#m] me [F#] cry
[B]
[F#] [B] Morning dove up [F#] in the sky Go sing my love to [B] her from a mountain [C#] top
so high As [F#] if she knew she might not [A#m] leave [B] me behind
[C#] Leave me [F#] far behind
If [B]
[F#]
[B] [C#] [F#]
[B] [C#] [F#]
[D#m] I could catch her I [A#m] would run from [B] here to the Oklahoma [F#] line
In the hopes that she [A#m] might stop and hear [B] me cry
[G#] [G#m] Hear me cry
[C#] [F#] [B]
[F#] Stars above me hear my [B] song
[F#] [B] Only you could know how I've waited for [C#] so
long For [F#] her love is like the snow upon [B] the hill
[C#] Lying cold [F#] and still
If I [D#m] could catch her I [A#m] would run from [B] here to the Oklahoma [F#] line
[D#m] In the hopes that she [A#m] might stop and hear [B] me cry
[G#] Hear [G#m] me cry
[F#] So I'll send my memory on the wind [B] And [F#] I'll be waiting here [B] if her highway [F#] finally
ends So if [D#m] she feels something [A#m] that she cannot
[B] see She'll know [F#] it's only me
And [D#m] when the blackbird [A#m] sings and the river [B] brings her home
God [F#] [C#m]
please [F#] bring her home
[G#m] [F#] [F#]
