capo 2nd
Am   C    Em    G
AmHetti Blackbird, Hetti BlackbiCrd, Hetti BlackbiEmrd, 
that's the Indian's namGe
Out in South DakoAmta, he stole a gold Range RoCver 
and he drove it all Emover the empty plainsG  
While Apache pilAmots haunt the River TigrCess 
in the laughing sileEmnce of the desert niGght
& the price of cocainAme on a favourite ball Cgame 
I read it all Embaby in the New York TimeCs.
A pervert from Jersey with a thirty-thirty, 
found them girls rehearsing in a ballet school
And when he bust in point his musket 
he turned lilly white muslin into bright red bloom
As I read it here on the coffee street pier 
I can't help but hear them buildings fall
And the way they came down, and way they jumped out, 
there's no baseball glove in town
That's gonna catch them all.
So every New Year we come to Times Square 
and we all howl there when the big ball drops. 
Don't trust your junk mail, don't touch the third rail, 
and baby don't' you dare hail the King of pop. 
Cos the day they found him and brought his body 
in the things that Doctor did was enough to strike you blind.
So make my Lilly white lover, oh and oh my brother, 
never make the cover of the New York Times

Am C Em G

Am C Em

Hetti Blackbird, Hetti Blackbird, Hetti Blackbird,

that's the Indian's name

Am C

Out in South Dakota, he stole a gold Range Rover

Em G

and he drove it all over the empty plains

Am C

While Apache pilots haunt the River Tigress

Em G

in the laughing silence of the desert night

Am C

& the price of cocaine on a favourite ball game

Em C

I read it all baby in the New York Times.

A pervert from Jersey with a thirty-thirty,

found them girls rehearsing in a ballet school

And when he bust in point his musket

he turned lilly white muslin into bright red bloom

As I read it here on the coffee street pier

I can't help but hear them buildings fall

And the way they came down, and way they jumped out,

there's no baseball glove in town

That's gonna catch them all.

So every New Year we come to Times Square

and we all howl there when the big ball drops.

Don't trust your junk mail, don't touch the third rail,

and baby don't' you dare hail the King of pop.

Cos the day they found him and brought his body

in the things that Doctor did was enough to strike you blind.

So make my Lilly white lover, oh and oh my brother,

never make the cover of the New York Times
