Down came a blackbird, set on a fence, talkin' in riddles, makin' no sense
          C       F C                             G
She's gone,          you're baby's gone,
G
Down came a blackbird, perched on pole, took out a mirror, and said, "Son,
behold"
                     C      F C                          D   Dsus
Cause she's gone,         your baby's gone        Wooooooo!

CHORUS:
G (throughout)
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink, head hangin' over the kitchen sink
Gone like the wind through a cabin door, never gonna blow that way no more
Gone like the song of a mockingbird, laughing at every little thing he heard
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke, she ain't comin' back and it ain't no
joke
          C       F C                           D  Dsus
She's gone,        you're baby's gone

Down came a blackbird, set by the fire,
Said "the future's comin' at you like a freight train
And you're walkin' the wire"
Cause she's gone,        you're baby's gone     Wooooooo!

Gone like a dollar spent on a drink, head hangin' over the kitchen sink
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke, she ain't comin' back and it ain't no
joke
She's gone, you're baby's gone

BRIDGE:
        Em (strum)
She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house
         Am (strum)
Who doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth
             Em                                       C
There's got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife
           D
If she stays here she'll end up his waitress for life

Down came a blackbird, set on a fence,
Talkin' in riddles, and makin' absolutely perfect sense
Cause she's gone, you're baby's gone,  Wooooooo!



Down came a blackbird
