[Verse 1]
CI see you on the Emavenue  
Where Gyou know them and they G7know you 
CDown so low there’s Emnowhere left to Gfall 
And I Cwatch you bend like Emtwigs against the Gchanging of the G7times 
And wither Cunder weight that Emweighs upon us Gall 
Just Amhoping that someCone will hear your Gcall 
[Chorus]
oh Fred dirt and Csand may Gcover all the Amland 
And FeverytChing may fall aGpart 
But as sFoon as you Cknow you’ll be Gsteady as you Amgo 
O-o-Fon like a Gblackbird through the Cdark

[Verse 2]
CI see your faith begEmin to sway 
As a Gpromise seems to G7slip away 
And Call the days just Embreak to test your Gwill 
And as the Csun goes down Emon the west and Gwe all learn to liG7ve with less 
DeCsire burns a Emhole you’ll never Gfill 
It’s Amhand like a Cstain is on you Gstill 
[Chorus]
oh Fred dirt and Csand may Gcover all the Amland 
And FeverytChing may fall aGpart 
But as sFoon as you Cknow you’ll be Gsteady as you Amgo 
O-o-Fon like a Gblackbird through the Cdark
