[VERSE]
                                       F
There's a blackbird perched outside my window
           C
I hear him calling
           Em
I hear him sing
   Am                                F
He burns me with his eyes of gold to embers
               C
He sees all my sins
            G
He reads my soul


[PD-C HORUS]
Dm           Am       Em       F
One day that bird, he spoke to me
Dm          Am           Em  F   G   C
Like Martin Luther, like Pericles___


[CHORUS]
              G       C
Come join the murder
              G       C
Come fly with black
               G        F
We'll give you freedom
               G      C
From the human trap
              G      C
Come join the murder
           G      C
Soar on my wings
                 G            F
You'll touch the hand of God
               G     F
He'll make you king
               G    Am
He'll make you king___


[VERSE]
                           F
On a blanket made of woven shadows
           C
Flew up to heaven
             Em
On a raven's glide
      Am                             F
These angels have turned my wings to wax now
            C
I fell like Judas
             G
From grace tonight


[PD-C HORUS]
    Dm      Am     Em      F
And on that day he lied to me
Dm          Am           Em  F   G   C
Like Martin Luther, like Pericles___


[CHORUS]
              G       C
Come join the murder
              G       C
Come fly with black
               G        F
We'll give you freedom
               G      C
From the human trap
              G      C
Come join the murder
           G      C
Soar on my wings
                 G            F
You'll touch the hand of God
               G     F
He'll make you king
               G    C
He'll make you king___

[VERSE]
  Am                            F
I walk among the children of my fathers
           C
The broken wings
           Em
Betrayal's cost
     Am                             F
They call to me, but never touch my heart now
         C
I am too far
        G
I'm too lost


[PD-C HORUS]
Dm        Am           Em          F
All I can hear is what he spoke to me
Dm          Am           Em  F   G   C
Like Martin Luther, like Pericles___

Soar on my wings

You'll touch the hand of God

[VERSE]
                            F
So now I curse that raven's fire
            C
You made me hate
            Em
You made me burn
   Am                            F
He laughed aloud as he flew from Eden
           C
You always knew
          G
You never learn


[PD-C HORUS]
    Dm      Am     Em       F
The crow no longer sings to me
Dm          Am           Em  F   G   C
Like Martin Luther or Pericles___
