Kaitlyn Baker - Blackbird Chords

[Intro]
Am    C    D    Am
 
Am    C    D    Am
 
[Verse]
C        Am
  Like a blackbird sitting on a wire
         C
Singing alone in a BluJay choir
          D
Live your life like your hearts on fire
 
Don’t let them slow you down
 
        Am
Like an old pine blowing in the wind
          C
You won’t break if you learn to bend
           D
Just don’t bend until you break
D
Don’t let them slow you down
 
[Chorus]
      Am
Stand up, dig down
C
Keep your roots deep in the ground
         D
Don’t forget where you come from
     Am                  C
It’s up to you when it’s said and done
 
      Am
Speak up, speak loud
        C
There’s no stopping you now
D
Open up that rusty cage
A          G              Am   C
Blackbird, blackbird fly away
               D   Am
Won’t you fly away
 
[Verse]
C        Am
  Like a mad man laughing in the rain
       C
Like a lost soul dancing on his grave
        D
For the part we play there’s a price to pay
D
But baby don’t be afraid
 
       Am
Like a new day chasing in the night
            C
Spread your wings and learn to fly
      D
Trust in yourself cause one of these days
D
We’re gonna leave it all behind
 
[Chorus]
      Am
Stand up, dig down
C
Keep your roots deep in the ground
         D
Don’t forget where you come from
     Am                  C
It’s up to you when it’s said and done
 
      Am
Speak up, speak loud
        C
There’s no stopping you now
D
Open up that rusty cage
A          G              Am   C    D
Blackbird, blackbird fly away
               A
Won’t you fly away
 
[Solo]
Am     C     D     Am
Oh
 
[Bridge]
Am                       C
   If you know where you come from
                         D     A
You’ll know where you’re going
Am                        C
   If you know where your heart lies
                     D
You’ll know where to break ties
              A
Where are you going
 
[Chorus]
      Am
Stand up, dig down
C
Keep your roots deep in the ground
         D
Don’t forget where you come from
     Am                  C
It’s up to you when it’s said and done
 
      Am
Speak up, speak loud
        C
There’s no stopping you now
D
Open up that rusty cage
Am         C              G
Blackbird, blackbird fly away
