_ _ _ _ Well _ _ _ the song [Em] of the blackbird [Gm] is _ _ mighty [F] _ _
clear _ on [C] a morning _ such [Bb] as _ _ _ this.
_ _ _ [Em] And all those useless [Bbm] _ _ pains and _ _ [F] fears, _ [Gm] these things that I [Bb] want in _ bed or _ sleep.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The _ [C] morning glories [Bb] and the queen [F] and late, _ _ _ all [Gm] baptized _ by [Bb] the wind.

[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ These inspirations are [Bb] my _ saving _

_ _ _ [D] _ And the [Em] _
ground's [F] so _ dry, _
_ _ [Bb] _ the _ river's on [F] its hands and _ _ knees.
[D] _ _ And [Bb] I hear [F] that _ _ _ _ [Gm] swooning of the _ [C] breeze. _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ The [G] crow's calling [Bb] and I hear [F] him _ wail _ _ up [G] in the red [Bb]-thorn tree. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ And [Gm] any stories [Bb] that you've lived to [F] _
tell, _ _ _ [E] pass them down [Bb] to _ _ me. _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ And [Em] whisper _ the [F] _ truth _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] into _ your [F] _ _ _ children's ears.
[D] _ _ _ [Bb] Let them know, let them _ _ understand, _ let them [Em] hear.
