[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
Am
Eyes to take you dancing,
Dm/A
Mouth to leave your wife,
G5                     Em
Legs to run away with, and you wonder why

Am                          Dm/A
Heart that makes you bypass every other girl
G5                                   Em
Smile that keeps you grinning at the madness of this world


[Chorus]
             Am               Em
And like the blackbird on the wire
Am              Em
I will not take prey on you,
Em           Am
You wouldn't want me to
            B               Em
For I'm too soft for such a thing
             Am               Em
And like the blackbird on the wire
Am     Em
I just watch you by
Em          Am
The tears I knew I'd cry
       B              Em
Fall unnoticed down below


[Verse 2]
Am
And with a tongue built from quick silver
Dm/A
And a character of steel
G5                     Em
They actually come and ask me how I feel


[Interlude]
Am Dm/A G5 Em
Am Em Am Em
Em Am B Em
Am Em Am Em
Em Am B Em


[Chorus]
             Am               Em
And like the blackbird on the wire
Am              Em
I will not take prey on you,
Em           Am
You wouldn't want me to
            B               Em
For I'm too soft for such a thing
             Am               Em
And like the blackbird on the wire
Am     Em
I just watch you by
Em          Am
The tears I knew I'd cry
       B              Em
Fall unnoticed down below


[Outro]
Am
down below,
Am
down below,
Am
down below
