Black bird, why you wearin' that frown?

Well, don't ya know Jesus loves you and me
 
and the preacher on TV you're puttin' down?
D
Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs.
                    G                F
Well, I could spend all my time in the shade of a tree
 
And listen all day long.

Whoa but your ever hearing, never understanding,
       G                                 D
Yea I see you're not percieving and your heart has grown calloused
F                       C
You're in a storm and lost your way,
           G
Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today.

D
Blackbird, now you've broken your wings.
               G
You try to fly high, but you know that
     F
You can't go anywhere, you can't do anything.

Blackbird, who put you in your cage?
                G
Tell me was it God or was it you

Or was it me, well I guess it don't matter anyway.

D
You say you need a rememdy,
 
For the thorn in your pride
                         F
I think it's such a tragedy
          G    F    D
That you left Him behind!
 
D
You say you light your candle
 
But your love light doesn't shine.
                       G
You say you talk to angels
        G          F     D
Well, I say that's such a lie.
