Gretchen Peters - Blackbirds


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: E minorEm

                   C majorC
The blackbirds came at dusk and they roosted in the cane
FF              C majorC
Raised such a ruckus that it shook my windowpane
    E minorEm            C majorC
And I'm covered up in dirt and I stink of kerosene
    FF       C majorC        E MajorE
And no matter what I do, I can't get clean

E minorEm               C majorC
Last thing I remember was your footsteps in the hall
FF             C majorC
Whisky in your voice and a shotgun on the wall
      E minorEm               C majorC
Now there's shadows in the shadows, there's trouble in the cane
      FF         C majorC        E MajorE
And there's things you do that you just can't explain


CHORUS:
 C majorC           E minorEm
Uneasy lies the head, unfaithful is the heart
 C majorC       D MajorD      E minorEm
Ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
  C majorC             E minorEm         C majorC
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
     D MajorD     E minorEm
Only the blackbirds and you


                   C majorC
Come harvest in the cane fields, the sky turns black with smoke
   FF              C majorC
So I took our father's gun and a heavy piece of rope
   E minorEm                C majorC
And I left you lying there, like rotten fruit upon the ground
   FF         C majorC           E MajorE
And I lit a torch and I burned the whole thing down


CHORUS:
 C majorC           E minorEm
Uneasy lies the head, unfaithful is the heart
 C majorC       D MajorD      E minorEm
Ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
  C majorC             E minorEm         C majorC
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
     D MajorD     E minorEm
Only the blackbirds and you

INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC  D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm


              C majorC            FF
Our father was a farmer, he planted fields of cane
                C majorC
He planted seeds of evil and we harvested the shame
    E minorEm                C majorC
Oh, and I'm the last one standing, there's no one left to tell
     FF         C majorC        E MajorE
And when it's my time, I'll see you both in hell


CHORUS:
 C majorC           E minorEm
Uneasy lies the head, unfaithful is the heart
 C majorC       D MajorD      E minorEm
Ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
  C majorC             E minorEm         C majorC
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
     D MajorD     E minorEm
Only the blackbirds and you
  C majorC             E minorEm         C majorC
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
     D MajorD       E minorEm
Only the blackbirds and you
