G
Well theyve 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
Cant get to heaven livin this hard
D
Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
(Riff) G
Release me from my burden and pain
G
Its 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 tens 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. Johns bones
D
Tell the gamblers their gonna die alone
G
Blackbird, blackbird fly away home
C
Oh blackbird, blackbird come back again
G
Dont tell momma where Ive been
D
Im goin to the river, Im gonna jump in
G
Oh blackbird, blackbird come back again
(Solo) C G D G C G D (Riff) G
G
Its an ace high straight in all the same suit
Readem and weep this hand cant lose
C
Somebody said that aint good enough
G
Cause that dont beat a Mississippi Flush
G
Mr. Ledbetter can you tell me again?
G
Whats a Mississippi Flush and hows it beat this hand?
C
He said they dont ask questions in the grave yard
G
Its 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)
