Dm   Faug  Dm7     G9   Gm          Cmaj7  Bbdim  Dm   D5
Blackbird  black - bird singing the blues  all    day 
Gm        C#7  A    Dm  D5  A7sus4 A7
Right out-side my   door

Dm   Faug  Dm7   G9   Gm         Cmaj7  Bbdim Dm   D5
Blackbird  black-bird why do you sit    and   say

“There's no sun-shine in  store”? 
C5              C7         Bb   Bbm   F
All through the winter you hung a  -  round
C5       C7          Bb  Bbm  A7sus4  A7 
Now I be-gin to feel homeward bound 
Dm   Faug   Dm7   G9   Gm       Cmaj7  Bbdim Dm  D5
Blackbird   black-bird gotta be on     my    way
G             G7         C7   C#7 C7
Where there's sunshine galore.

Pack up all my care and woe, Here I go     singing low

Bye bye black-bird 
Gm7            F#aug          Bb            C     C7    
Where somebody waits for me,  Sugar's sweet so is she
Gm7  C7  F         E F
Bye  bye blackbird
Am7b5                         D#7   D7 
No one here can love or under-stand me
Gm7                                C#7 C7 
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
F       Fmaj7   Bb        F      Fmaj7      Gm7   D#7    D7
Make my bed and light the light, I'll     a-rrive late tonight

Blackbird   bye bye.

I'm like a flower that's fa – ding here
