Blackbird Fly Away (Verse) Like a broken basketball on a dirty backyard court, I was unable to roll away but I have air now Up this ladder, I keep climbing trying to reach a little farther dig my hands into the water breaking up the storm (and there she goes) [chorus] Blackbird, fly away into the hollow sky Blackbird, take me with you 'cause I can't fly I'll hold on tightly (but I can't fly) (Repeat Verse Chords) Looking up , I reach out stealing falling feathers as they tumble to the ground it's strange how they work so well for you while slowing me down (blackbird, I envy you) (repeat chorus) (BRIDGE) I could leave here on my own if my heart was not so heavy maybe you can teach me how to swim in the sky Blackbird, fly away into the hollow sky Blackbird, take me with you 'cause I can't fly I'll hold on tightly {Verse x5 Chorus x1 x4 Bridge x2}
