[Verse 1]

  G
I saw a blackbird
C  C/B   G
Thirteen ways
         G     G/F#   Em
And then strew a fist many
C   C/B    Am
Mountains away
   C      D
My evangelism felt
G  G/F#  C
Brutally taken
   G   G/F#     Em
By breezes that rubbed me
    C  C/B       Am
And lifted light raven

[Verse 2]

  G
I stretched to borrow
C    C/B  G
Fine antebellum
   G     G/F#     Em
To encase all the scrapings
      C  C/B    Am
Of us civilised fellow
  C        D
I wanted to stash them
   G  G/F#  C
To secretive cages
          G  G/F#  Em
With that fabulous blackbird
  C  C/B    Am
Of thirteen stages
