Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

Eyes to take you dancing,

Mouth to leave your wife,

Legs to run away with, and you wonder why

Heart that makes you bypass every other girl

Smile that keeps you grinning at the madness of this world

Chorus

And like the blackbird on the wire

I will not take prey on you,

You wouldn't want me to

For I'm too soft for such a thing

And like the blackbird on the wire

I just watch you by

The tears I knew I'd cry

Fall unnoticed down below.

(as verse)

And with a tongue built from quick silver

And a character of steel

They actually come and ask me how I feel

Interlude

verse chords once then chorus chords once

(as chorus)

And like the blackbird on the wire

I will not take prey on you,

You wouldn't want me to

For I'm too soft for such a thing

And like the blackbird on the wire

I just watch you by

The tears I knew I'd cry

Fall unnoticed down below,

down below,

down below,

down below.
