Down Came A Blackbird chords by Lila Mccann

Intro:
G Gm G Gm

Verse 1::
 Gm
Down came a blackbird

Set on a fence
 Gm
Talking in riddles

Making no sense
              C
Cause she's gone

                 Gm
You're baby's gone

 Gm
Down came a blackbird

Perched on pole
 Gm
Took out a mirror

And said, "Son, behold"
               C
Cause she's gone

              D
Your baby's gone


Chorus::
 G
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

Head hanging over the kitchen sink
 G
Gone like the wind through a cabin door

Never gonna blow that way no more

 G
Gone like the song of a mockingbird

 G
Laughing at every little thing he heard

 G
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke


She ain't coming back
And it ain't no joke
        C
She's gone

             D
Your baby's gone


Verse 2::
 Gm
Down came a blackbird

Set by the fire
 Gm
Said the future's coming at you

Like a freight train
 Gm
And you're walking a wire

             C
Cause she's gone

                D
You're baby's gone


Chorus::
 G
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

Head hanging over the kitchen sink
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke
She ain't coming back
And it ain't no joke
       C
She's gone

               D
Your baby's gone


Bridge::
     Em
She says she doesn't want a man

Who hangs around the house
      Am
Who doesn't say a word

Unless he's shooting off his mouth
           G
There's got to be a better way

     C
To be a lovin' wife

        D
If she stays here

She'll end up her waitress for life

 Gm
Down came a blackbird

 Gm
Set on a fence

And making absolutely perfect sense

              C
Cause she's gone

              D
Your baby's gone

Head hanging over the kitchen sink

Your baby's gone
