G
Well they’ve got a little game called five card draw,
they take it serious in Arkansas
G C
You can make a little money wagerin’ on cards
G
Can’t get to heaven livin’ this hard
D
Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
(Riff…) G
Release me from my burden and pain
G
It’s a one eyed jack and the suicide king
Ace of spades and two black queens
C
Never draw to an inside straight
G
I feel the ten’s knockin’ at the gate
D
Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
(Riff…) G
Release me from my burden and pain
Chorus:
G C
Oh blackbird, blackbird fly away home
G
Say a prayer over St. John’s bones
D
Tell the gambler’s their gonna die alone
G
Blackbird, blackbird fly away home
C
Oh blackbird, blackbird come back again
G
Don’t tell momma where I’ve been
D
I’m goin’ to the river, I’m gonna jump in
G
Oh blackbird, blackbird come back again
(Solo) C G D G C G D (Riff…) G
G
It’s an ace high straight in all the same suit
Read’em and weep this hand can’t lose
C
Somebody said that ain’t good enough
G
‘Cause that don’t beat a Mississippi Flush
G
Mr. Ledbetter can you tell me again?
G
What’s a Mississippi Flush and how’s it beat this hand?
C
He said they don’t ask questions in the grave yard
G
It’s a small revolver and any five cards
D
Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
(Riff…) G
Release me from my burden and pain
(Chorus)
