Blackbird Fly Away 
(Verse)
CLike a broken baskeGtball
on a dirFty backyard court,
I was Cunable to roll awGay
but I have Fair now
CUp this ladGder, I keep cFlimbing
tryCing to reach a little farGther
dig my haFnds into the water
breaking up the storm
C G F
(and there she goes)C  
[chorus]
BlackbirGd, fly awayF  
Aminto the Ghollow skyF  
AmBlackbird, tGake me with Fyou
'cause I can't flyAm  
I'll hoGld on tighFtly
(but I can't fly)
Am G F
(Repeat Verse Chords)
Looking up , I reach out
stealing falling feathers
as they tumble to the ground
it's strange how they
work  so well for you
while slowing me down
(blackbird, I envy you)
(repeat chorus)
(BRIDGE)
I could leAmave here on my owGn
if my heFart was not so heavy
Ammaybe you can teaGch me
how to swFim in the sky
Blackbird, fly away
into the hollow sky
Blackbird, take me with you
'cause I can't fly
I'll hold on tightly
{Verse  C   G   Fx5

Blackbird Fly Away

(Verse)

C G

Like a broken basketball

on a dirty backyard court,

C G

I was unable to roll away

but I have air now

C G F

Up this ladder, I keep climbing

C G

trying to reach a little farther

dig my hands into the water

breaking up the storm

C G F

(and there she goes)

[chorus]

G F

Blackbird, fly away

Am G F

into the hollow sky

Am G F

Blackbird, take me with you

'cause I can't fly

G F

I'll hold on tightly

(but I can't fly)

Am G F

(Repeat Verse Chords)

Looking up , I reach out

stealing falling feathers

as they tumble to the ground

it's strange how they

work so well for you

while slowing me down

(blackbird, I envy you)

(repeat chorus)

(BRIDGE)

Am G

I could leave here on my own

if my heart was not so heavy

Am G

maybe you can teach me

how to swim in the sky

Blackbird, fly away

into the hollow sky

Blackbird, take me with you

'cause I can't fly

I'll hold on tightly

C G F
