 Black  bird, why you wearin' that frown?
 Well,  don't ya know Jesus  loves you and me
 and the preacher on TV your puttin' down?
 Blackbird,  how I love to hear your songs.
 Well,  I could spend all  my time in the shade of a tree
 And listen all day long.
 
 
   Whoa yeah
 
 
   I could listen
 
 
   All day long
 
 
 
 Whoa  but your ever hearing,  never understanding,
 Yea  I see you're not percieving and your  heart has grown calloused
 You're  in a storm and lost  your way,
 Won't  you fly to heaven and be saved today.
 Blackbird,  now you've broken your wings.
 You  try to fly high, but you know that
 You  can't go anywhere, you can't do anything.
 Blackbird,  who put you in your cage?
 Tell  me was it God or was it you
 Or  was it me, well I guess it don't matter anyway.
 
 
   Whoa no no
 
 
   It don't matter
 
 
   No no anyway
 
 
 
 
   Whoa yeah
 
 
 
   Blackbird
 I'm sorry...I don't know this!)
 
 
   X5
 
 
 
 
 
 
 You say you need a rememdy,
 For the thorn in your pride
 I  think it's such a tragedy
 That  you  left Him  behind!
 You say you light your candle
 But your love light doesn't shine.
 You  say you talk to angels
 Well,  I say that's  such  a lie.
 
 
   Yes it is now
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   such a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
 
   Whoa yeah
 
 
 
   Blackbird
