Chords for Folk Alley Sessions at 30A: Gretchen Peters - "Blackbirds"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] The _ blackbirds came at dusk, [D] they roosted in the cane
_ _ [G] _
_ Rays such a ruckus that it [D] shook my windowpane
_ I'm [F#] covered up in dirt and [D] I stink of _ kerosene
[G] No matter what I [D] do, I [F#] can't get clean _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ Last thing I remember is [D] your footsteps in the hall
_ [G] _ Whiskey in your voice _ [D] and a shotgun on the wall _
[F#m] Now there's shadows in the shadows, _
[D] there's trouble in the cane
_ [G] And there's things you do [D] that you just [F#] can't explain
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] Uneasy lies ahead, _ _
[F#m] unfaithful is the heart _ _
Ungrateful and _ [E] unlucky and _
[F#m] _ untrue
[F#] _ _ _ And [D] no one saw me coming, and [F#m] no one saw me going _ _
Only [E] the _ blackbirds [F#m] and _ you _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Come harvesting the cane fields, [D] the sky turns black with smoke
[G] So I took our father's gun _ [D] and a heavy piece of rope
_ And I left you lying there like a rotten fruit upon the ground
_ And I [G] lit a torch and I burned the whole [F#] thing down
_ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Uneasy lies ahead, _ [F#m] _ unfaithful is the heart
_ _ [D] Ungrateful [E] and unlucky and [F#m] _ _ untrue
_ _ _ And no one saw me coming, _ and no one saw me going
_ _ _ _ Only [E] the _ _ [F#m] blackbirds and _
_ [F#] _ you _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Our _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
father was a farmer, _ [D] he planted fields of cane _ _
[G] He planted seeds of evil and [D] we harvested the shame
_ Oh, [F#] and I'm the [F#m] last one standing, _ _
[D] there's no one left to tell
And [G] when it's my time, [D] _ I'll see you [F#] both in [F#m] hell _ _ _
[D] _ Uneasy lies ahead, _
[F#m] _ unfaithful is the heart _
[D] _ Ungrateful and [E] unlucky and [F#m] _ _ untrue _ _ _
[D] And no one saw me coming, [F#m] and no one saw me going _
[D] _ _ Only [E] the _ blackbirds [F#m] and you _ _ _
[D] And no one saw me coming, [F#m] and no one saw me going _
[D] _ _ Only [E] the _ blackbirds _ _ _ _ _ [F#] and [F#m] you _ _ _ _ _ _ _
