Blackbird Fly Away 

(Verse)
C                  G
Like a broken basketball
        F
on a dirty backyard court,
      C                G
I was unable to roll away
           F
but I have air now
C          G            F
Up this ladder, I keep climbing
   C                        G
trying to reach a little farther
         F
dig my hands into the water

breaking up the storm
C G F
                    C
(and there she goes)

chorus
        G          F
Blackbird, fly away
Am       G         F
into the hollow sky
Am          G          F
Blackbird, take me with you
                    Am 
'cause I can't fly
       G         F
I'll hold on tightly
(but I can't fly)
Am G F

(Repeat Verse Chords)
Looking up , I reach out
stealing falling feathers
as they tumble to the ground
it's strange how they
work  so well for you
while slowing me down
(blackbird, I envy you)

(repeat chorus)

(BRIDGE)
          Am               G
I could leave here on my own
        F
if my heart was not so heavy
Am               G
maybe you can teach me
         F
how to swim in the sky

Blackbird, fly away
into the hollow sky
Blackbird, take me with you
'cause I can't fly
I'll hold on tightly

{Verse C G F x5
Chorus C G F x1
      Am G F x4
Bridge Am G F x2}
