Song 213: Blackbirds

Blackbirds. If I had less integrity I’d have just stolen this from Paul McCartney.

Original and free. Lyrics and tabs included. Creative Commons.

All broken chords. Chunky guitar.

G#7 C#7
I’m up on the mountain, hungry and depraved
G#7 D#7
I’m up on the mountain hungry and depraved
G#7 D#7
Why don’t you invite me in?
G#7 D#7
Why don’t you invite me in?
C#7 G#7
I would be so well behaved

I don’t wake up in the morning, I wake up in the night
I don’t wake up in the morning, I wake up with a fight
Why don’t you invite me in?
Why don’t you invite me in?
I would turn off all the lights

I got my eyes on fire, you know I can’t see
I got my eyes on fire, you know I can’t see
Why don’t you invite me in?
Why don’t you invite me in?
I promise you won’t lie to me

Blackbirds hanging on the edge of the branch
Blackbirds hanging on the end of a branch
Why don’t you invite me in?
Why don’t you invite me in?
I’ve got more sympathy than you can stand

G#7
