[VERSE 1]
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  
Gm              C#7   A   Dm      D5 
“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. 


[CHORUS] 
F       Fmaj7  Bb       F           Gm7    C7      F 
Pack up all my care and woe, Here I go     singing low  
F   Gm7 C#7   C7   C#7  C7 
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
Gm   Gm7  C C7  F 
Blackbird   bye bye.    


[VERSE 2]

Blue-bird  blue-bird  calling me far    a  -  way 
Gm        C#7     A   Dm   D5 A7sus4   A7
I've been longing for you 
Dm   Faug  Dm7  G9    Gm        Cmaj7  Bbdim Dm  D5
Blue-bird  blue-bird  what do I hear   you   say? 
Gm         C#7  A   Dm   D5  
“Skies are turn-ing blue” 
C5         C7            Bb   Bbm  F
I'm like a flower that's fa – ding here 
C5          C7      Bb  Bbm  A7sus4 A7  
Where ev'ry hour is one long tear 
Dm   Faug Dm7  G9   Gm         Cmaj7  Bbdim Dm D5 
Blue-bird blue-bird this is my lu -   cky   day 
G      G7               C7   C#7 C7
Now my dreams will come true.  


[CHORUS 2]
F       Fmaj7   Bb        F      Fmaj7      Gm7   D#7  D7
Make my bed and light the light, I'll     a-rrive late tonight
Gm   Gm7   C      A7  D7  Gm   Gm7  C C7  F 
Blackbird     bye bye     Blackbird   bye bye.
