Lila McCann

Lila McCann - Down Came A Blackbird guitar chord

Tabbed by: Gerry Watkins

Down came a blackbird, set on a fence, talkin' in riddles, makin' no sense

C F C G

She's gone, you're baby's gone,

G

Down came a blackbird, perched on pole, took out a mirror, and said, "Son,

behold"

C F C D Dsus

Cause she's gone, your baby's gone Wooooooo!

CHORUS:

G (throughout)

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink, head hangin' over the kitchen sink

Gone like the wind through a cabin door, never gonna blow that way no more

Gone like the song of a mockingbird, laughing at every little thing he heard

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke, she ain't comin' back and it ain't no

joke

C F C D Dsus

She's gone, you're baby's gone

Down came a blackbird, set by the fire,

Said "the future's comin' at you like a freight train

And you're walkin' the wire"

Cause she's gone, you're baby's gone Wooooooo!

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink, head hangin' over the kitchen sink

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke, she ain't comin' back and it ain't no

joke

She's gone, you're baby's gone

BRIDGE:

Em (strum)

She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house

Am (strum)

Who doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth

Em C

There's got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife

D

If she stays here she'll end up his waitress for life

Down came a blackbird, set on a fence,

Talkin' in riddles, and makin' absolutely perfect sense

Cause she's gone, you're baby's gone, Wooooooo!

Down came a blackbird

Down came a blackbird
