There’s a blackbird perched outside my window
F
I hear him calling
Am
I hear him sing
Dm Bb
He burns me with his eyes of gold to embers
F
He sees all my sins
Am
He reads my soul
Gm Dm Am Bb
One day that bird, he spoke to me
Gm Dm
Like Martin Luther
Am Bb C
Like Pericles
F C
Come join the murder
F C
Come fly with black
F C
We’ll give you freedom
Bb C
From the human track
F C
Come join the murder
F C
Soar on my wings
F C
You’ll touch the hand of God
Bb C
And He’ll make you king
Bb C
And He’ll make you king
Dm Bb
On a blanket made of woven shadows
F
Flew up to heaven
Am
On a raven’s glide
Dm Bb
These angels have turned my wings to wax now
F Am
I fell like Judas from grace tonight
Gm Dm Am Bb
On that day that he lied to me
Gm Dm
Like Martin Luther
Am Bb C
Like Pericles
F C
Come join the murder
F C
Come fly with black
F C
We’ll give you freedom
Bb C
From the human track
F C
Come join the murder
F C
Soar on my wings
F C
You’ll touch the hand of God
Bb C
And He’ll make you king
Bb C
And He’ll make you king

Dm Bb
I walk among the children of my fathers
F Am
The broken wings, betrayal’s cost
Dm Bb
They call to me but never touch my heart, now
F
I am too far
Am
I’m too lost
Gm Dm Am Bb
All I can hear is what he spoke to me
Gm Dm
Like Martin Luther
Am Bb C
Like Pericles
F C
Come join the murder

We’ll give you freedom

From the human track

Dm Bb F C
Dm Bb
So now I curse that raven’s fire
F Am
You made me hate, you made me burn
Dm Bb
He laughed aloud as he flew from Eden
F Am
You always knew, you never learn
Gm Dm Am Bb
The crow no longer sings to me
Gm Dm
Like Martin Luther
Am Bb C
Or Pericles
