Little blackbird
Little blackbird
Come sit on my shoulder
Have a quick rest
I have a question:
Do you know
how
To get a ticket to now
To get access to here
An invitation for a wild, wild ride oh
The black eye
I got angry with life
Who do you think was winning all the time
Little blackbird
Come sit on my shoulder
Have a quick rest
I wanna tell you about a girl I recently met
She had some issues
So she would put me through a strange test
And on our first date she told me
Dear
Press on my body right here
Can you see how it turns white
It’s from an accident I just survived
The green stripes
That happened when I was five
They say I never complained
But it’s a miracle I’m still alive
That’s what she said and then suddenly she disappeared
And I stayed up all night (looking for a reasin why)
I looked into the mirror the next day and something was pretty weird:
I had the same green stripes (and the same sad eyes)
Ah yes
It had to happen I guess
It’s how my narrow got wide
It’s all the accidents I just survived oh
Two black eyes
I’m happy that you passed by
It’s how I understood why
It is a miracle I’m still alive
Little blackbird...

Again – Barbara Cuesta
E
Night
E6 E
with a moon shining bright
E6 E
and your hand‘s getting wet
E6 E B C#m
and your lips are softer than I bet.
E
How
F#m C#m
can your body explain
F#m C#m
all the million ways
B A
to smile again
B
Babe,
B7
say my name
B7 C#m
Say it again
F#m B C#m
again, again
A B C#m
again and again
D F#m
just one word
A B
say it again
Light
of your eyes shining bright
and your hand is my death
there‘s a million ways to hold a breath
I sigh,
the morning is born
and my heart is stronger than I guessed.
Babe
say my name…
E
Night
E6 E
with a moon shining bright
E6 E
and the world is a mess
E6 E
your head needs a rest
E6 E B E
but our hearts are softer than we guessed.
