Blackbird Lyrics
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Chords
Inspired by Bachs Bouree in E minor, Paul McCartney created a modern masterpiece that all other acoustic finger-picked songs shall forever be compared to.
An open G string is used almost throughout Blackbird. This ties the very clever chord progression together nicely.
