Blackwinged Bird Tab

by Emm Gryner


Nice song that has been written and performed by Emm Gryner. This version is a closer 
to the "Blackwinged Bird" performed by Nina Persson (The Cardigans) for The Cake Sale 
album.

                               
Night cant come quick enough
                          
My faults shine in the sun
                       
          A train bridge of spies
                          
watches all the cars collide
                                  
I      roll my green sleeves over ruby
                                  
I dont blame you for doing it to me
                    
         Real girls dont take aim
                                 
like kings do these days


                                           
I made my mind up to be a black-winged bird
                                                
Never turn my head for how things were
                                           
Leave the bluest skies for boys to burn
              
And Ill soar on my way
                                                        

Sad as the state of things we cant change


                           
Now were paper dolls all aflame
                                          
In houses that all look the same
        
Rows of regret
                          
An arson for a wilderness
                           
I hide my saints in the willow trunk
                                         
Yeah You started me on this junk
                          
     Now my black lungs are blue
                                 
But I’m still singing to you.
                           
I’m still singing to you

I made my mind up to be a black-winged bird
                                                
Never turn my head for how things were
                                          
Leave the bluest skies for boys to burn
