The blackbirds came at dusk and they roosted in the cane
F                                                                         C  
Raised such a ruckus that it shook my windowpane
                     Em                                                            C  
And I'm covered up in dirt and I stink of kerosene
                  F                                 C                                      E  
And no matter what I do, I can't get clean
Em                                                                            C  
Last thing I remember was your footsteps in the hall
F                                                                    C  
Whisky in your voice and a shotgun on the wall
                                Em                                                                              C  
Now there's shadows in the shadows, there's trouble in the cane
                                F                                              C                                         E  
And there's things you do that you just can't explain
     C                                                      Em  
Uneasy lies the head, unfaithful is the heart
     C                                    D                            Em  
Ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
          C                                                                 Em                                            C  
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
                        D                      Em  
Only the blackbirds and you
                                                                                                  C  
Come harvest in the cane fields, the sky turns black with smoke
             F                                                                      C  
So I took our father's gun and a heavy piece of rope
                Em                                                                                    C  
And I left you lying there, like rotten fruit upon the ground
                F                                            C                                                         E  
And I lit a torch and I burned the whole thing down
     C                                                      Em  
Uneasy lies the head, unfaithful is the heart
     C                                    D                            Em  
Ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
          C                                                                 Em                                            C  
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
                        D                      Em  
Only the blackbirds and you
                 C      D      C      D         Em  
                                                                          C                                                            F  
Our father was a farmer, he planted fields of cane
                                                                                     C  
He planted seeds of evil and we harvested the shame
                     Em                                                                                    C  
Oh, and I'm the last one standing, there's no one left to tell
                        F                                              C                                      E  
And when it's my time, I'll see you both in hell
     C                                                      Em  
Uneasy lies the head, unfaithful is the heart
     C                                    D                            Em  
Ungrateful and unlucky and untrue
          C                                                                 Em                                            C  
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
                        D                      Em  
Only the blackbirds and you
          C                                                                 Em                                            C  
And no one saw me coming, and no one saw me go
                        D                                    Em  
Only the blackbirds and you
