Song: Down Came A Blackbird Tab
Down Came A Blackbird by Lila McCann
Intro: G
G
Down came a blackbird, set on a fence, talkin' in riddles, makin' no sense
C F C G
She's gone, you're baby's gone,
G
Down came a blackbird, perched on pole, took out a mirror, and said, "Son,
behold"
C F C D Dsus
Cause she's gone, your baby's gone Wooooooo!
CHORUS:
G (throughout)
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink, head hangin' over the kitchen sink
Gone like the wind through a cabin door, never gonna blow that way no more
Gone like the song of a mockingbird, laughing at every little thing he heard
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke, she ain't comin' back and it ain't no
joke
C F C D Dsus
She's gone, you're baby's gone
Down came a blackbird, set by the fire,
Said "the future's comin' at you like a freight train
And you're walkin' the wire"
Cause she's gone, you're baby's gone Wooooooo!
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink, head hangin' over the kitchen sink
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke, she ain't comin' back and it ain't no
joke
She's gone, you're baby's gone
BRIDGE:
Em (strum)
She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house
Am (strum)
Who doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth
Em C
There's got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife
D
If she stays here she'll end up his waitress for life
Down came a blackbird, set on a fence,
Talkin' in riddles, and makin' absolutely perfect sense
Cause she's gone, you're baby's gone, Wooooooo!
Down came a blackbird
Down came a blackbird
