_ [B] If I _ _ were a [G] _ blackbird, though in me [A] my wing, _ I would _ [Em] follow _ [C] the vessel _ _ my [A] true _ [D] love [B] sails _ [Bm] in.
_ [Am] _
In the [G] top rigging _
[D] I'd there be, _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [A] I'd flatter [Em] my _ _ wings or [G] _
_ lily-white [A] breast. _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My words, they [Em] are simple, _ _ [G] my story _ is [Am] true.
_ Oh, once I [C] was _ carefree, [A] my own path to [B] _ _ [Bm] choose.
[Am] I _ _ _ [G] courted a lady by [F] night and [Em] by day, _ [A] but now she [G] has left me and _ gone [Am] far away. _ _ _

_ She _ followed _ me [Em] gladly _ [G] to _ _
_ _ [A] Donnybrook [Am] Fair. _
I bought her fine [C] _
ribbons to [A] _ tie in [B] her hair.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] She [Am] _ offered _ [D]
to marry _ [F] and stay by [B] my _ side, [Em] _
[Am] but then in [Em] the _ morning [G] she sang _ with [Am] the _ tide.

_ [Am] My _ parents, [Em] they chide me _ [G] and will _ [Am] not agree, _ _ [A]
saying me [C] and my true love [A] never _ married should [Bm] _ be.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] But let _ [G] them deprive me, let [C] them do what [E] they will.
_ [A] While there's life in [Em] my _ spirit, _ [G] she's the one I [Am]
love still.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ If I were _ a [Em] _ blackbird, [G] though in me [Am] my wing, _ I would follow _ [C] the vessel _ [A] my true love [E] sails [Em] in. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ In the [G] top _ rigging _ [F] I'd there build [E] my nest, [Em] _ _ [Am] I'd flatter _ my [G] _ wings _ or [G] _ _
lily [Am]-white _ _ breast. _
