Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
                 G                         C 
Well it tastes like a Sunday,
                                 D                       Bm 
There should be music in the front room,
                 C                 Bm                             D 
and the markets a'milling with the people in the afternoon.
                             G                           C                             D               Bm 
And there's a question to be asked if you're drinking alone,
                     C                           Bm                               D 
It's what horse were you thrown from which riderless goes on?

           G                               C 
O it must have been a near thing,
               D                   Bm 
But no novelty to you,
                 C                           Bm                       D 
all the trains and the buses and the cinemas too,
 G                                                 C                 D                               Bm 
Breaking down, the bloody town, all reared up like a snake,
         C                       Bm                 D 
For all goodness sake don't touch it or you'll never wake up...
CHORUS
         C                         D               C                         D 
His father misses him, His mother misses him,
         Bm                         C 
His lady dreams of kissing him,
 C                         D         Bm                 C 
Bring the sun back, Bring the sun back,
 C                             D 
It's been dark, now it's cold,
                   Bm       C 
When the night falls,
 C                         D         Bm                 C 
Bring the sun back, Bring the sun back,
 C                                 D                     G 
It's a blackbird, he's in the belly.
VERSE
                     G                   C                   D                         Bm 
Well it's cold, it's cold, it's cold and it's cold,
                           C                           Bm                 D 
But you've a roof over your head and a comfortable bed,
                   G                               C                         D                         Bm 
Now I'll be better, I'll be true, doing things like I ought to,
                 C                                 Bm                         D 
If this bird lands in the black lands of Tulla when it's due...
         C                         D               C                         D 
His father misses him, His mother misses him,
         Bm                         C 
His lady dreams of kissing him,
 C                         D         Bm                 C 
Bring the sun back, Bring the sun back,
 C                             D 
It's been dark, now it's cold,
                   Bm       C 
When the night falls,
 C                         D         Bm                 C 
Bring the sun back, Bring the sun back,
 C                                 D                     G 
It's a blackbird, he's in the belly.
 C                                 D                     G 
It's a blackbird, he's in the belly.
                             C                   D                       G 
The night's a blackbird, We're in the belly.
