F             Dm
If I was not afraid to meet
     Bb              F
then I might live in peace
    A            Dm
I'd give away my wooden ears
G7                  Bb            F
help you teach your frozen lips to speak

F            Dm
You have not stolen here
   Bb              F
but you can hardly sleep
    A                       Dm
The horns and shells you've gathered here
    G7              Bb              C    Am/C   Am  Am/C
one day the one you battle might be me

Dm            F
Blackbird go lost
Bb               F              C    Am/C   Am  Am/C
I will bring her back to you in spring
Dm                  F
She won't change at all
Bm               F                   C   Am/C   Am   Am/C  
let your sparrow fall to what might be

F                         Dm
And when you've done your howling
    Bb             F
and done with everything
   A               Dm
if she is gone for months again
     G7                Bb                F
will you still say you watch for sparrow wings

F            Dm
You have not stolen dear
    Bb            F
but I can plainly see
    A                       Dm
the horns and shells you're holding here
    G7              Bb              C    Am/C   Am  Am/C
one day the one you battle might be me

Dm            F
Blackbird go lost
Bb               F              C    Am/C   Am  Am/C
I will bring her back to you in spring
Dm                  F
She won't change at all
Bb               F                  C    Am/C   Am  Am/C
let your sparrow fall to what might be

Dm                  F
She won't change at all
Bb               F
let your sparrow fall
Dm                  F
She won't change at all
Bb               F
let your sparrow fall
