Down Came a Blackbird

Tabbed by: Gerry Watkins Down came a blackbird, set on a fence, talkin' in riddles, makin' no sense She's gone, you're baby's gone, Down came a blackbird, perched on pole, took out a mirror, and said, "Son, behold" Cause she's gone, your baby's gone Wooooooo! CHORUS: (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 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: (strum) She says she doesn't want a man who hangs around the house (strum) Who doesn't say a word unless he's shootin' off his mouth There's got to be a better way to be a lovin' wife 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!
