Red-winged Blackbird

  			



Intro: Am 

              C        G             Am 
Oh, can't you see that pretty little bird 
             G       Em        Am 
Singing with all his heart and soul? 
           C         G           Am 
He's got a blood red spot on his wing 
            G             Am 
And all the rest of him's black as coal 


           C         G        Am 
Of all the colours I ever did see 
        G             Em     Am 
Red and black are the ones I dread 
           C          G            Am 
For when a man spills blood on the coal 
               G             Am 
They carry him down from the coal mines dead
