Key: G
Introduction:
Dm
Do you want to follow me indoors
A
If the elevator be my floor
Dm
There's a lonely blackbird on the telephone wire
C
He's there most days
Dm
If we don't have time for everything
A
Let's at least sit quietly with him
Dm G A
Just long enough to notice when he flies away because he always flies away
Dm
And tomorrow everything will change
A
That's what all our teachers used to say
Dm C
We don't need to wonder if the rows on our face will turn to grey
Dm
But since we know the movements of the stars
A
We know exactly where we are
Dm G
And we'll be together when the leaves are acting strange
A
We'll watch them fly away
Dm
They always fly away
Dm
They always fly away
Dm
They always fly away
Dm
There's a mountain underneath the clouds
A
There's a heaven underneath us now
Dm C
Can you make out the diamonds on the edge of the sea from where you lay
Dm
There's a blackbird sitting on a line
A
And we're all here navigating time
Dm G A
Let's watch him long enough until he flies away... they always fly away
Dm
They always fly away
