(as verse) And with a tongue built from quick silver And a character of steel They actually come and ask me how I feel interlude: verse chords once then chorus chords once (as chorus) And like the blackbird on the wire I will not take prey on you, You wouldn't want me to For I'm too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears I knew I'd cry Fall unnoticed down below, down below, down below, down below.
