[Verse 1]

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

Birds beneath my window dustyin' their wings upon the lawn

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

I hear them in the mornin' light last amen to a migratory song

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

They're never lookin' round for me - their eyes are on the sky or the ground below

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know

[Chorus]

Am7 Bm11

Hello blackbird, hello starlin'

Winter's over, be my darlin'

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

A long time comin' but now the snow is gone

[Verse 2]

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

You were beautiful when I first saw your feathers and confectionery airs

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

Like the earth, it up and promised you the stars but you really didn't care

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

I sang in exultation, I pulled the stops - you always looked a little bored

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

I'm singing for the love of it - have mercy on the man who sings to be adored

[Chorus 2]

Hello blackbird, hello starlin'

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

I'm underneath your window now - it's long after the birds have gone to roost

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

And I'm not sure if I'm singing for the love of it or for the love of you

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

But I've flown a long way honey, oh, hear my confession then I'll go

G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G

I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know

[Chorus 3]

Hello brown one, hello blue one

Last night's feathers exchanged for new ones
