G
Oh, don’t you see the blackbird
G
He’s high up in the trees
F C G
He’s clinging on the branches and he’s calling out to me
G
And can’t you hear him calling
G
To the others circling ‘round
F C G
They’re cutting through the steady wind and landing on the ground
[Chorus]
F G F G
Raven shadow, hopeless sorrow
[Verse 2]
G G
I wish it was a songbird with a voice so pure and bright
F C G
Dressed in a cone of gold and with fires in his eyes
G G
And a light would shine around him, he’d stay up there all night,
F C G
His song would fill the air you breathe in the morning when he’d fly
[Chorus]
F G F G
No more shadow, no more sorrow
[Verse 3]
G G
What does it take for changing, there’s nothing I won’t try
F C G
I’ll call a thousand blackbirds to come raining from the sky
G G
Three hundred for your troubles, three hundred one for mine
F C G
And for the pain that I caused you, three hundred ninety-nine
[Chorus]
F G F G
No more shadow, no more sorrow
F G F G
No more shadow, no more sorrow
