Ok...now the song...
Verse 1
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
--
Chorus
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.
Verse 2
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
--
Chorus
-
Whoa yeah

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.
Chorus
-
Whoa yeah

If anyone knows the guitar solo, I am very interested in knowing what it
is. But I am still a young musician, so I'm not really good at figuring
that kind of stuff out. Well, God Bless!
