Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Watch those [C]blackbirds in the sky,
[D]show[F]ing eagles how to fly,
[G]chirping as [D]they flutter [G]by,
[D]who said blackbirds are blue.
[G]Swallows [D]follow them [C]all day,
[D]Sparrows stop to [F]watch
[Bb]them play.[F][G]
Bluebirds nev[D]er were so gay,
Who [F]said blackbird[C]s are [D]blue?
Why [G]the flower[D]s, [C]bees,
the river and [D]trees
[G]are thankful when they're around,
and every [D]meadow and lane,
each field of grain
[E]is [D]lone[A]some till they come down,
[D]see them winging [C]in the sun.
[D]Everything they do is [G]fun
Only wish I knew [D]the one
Who said blackbirds are blue
Watch those blackbirds in [F#m]the sk[C]y
[D]Showing eagles how to fly,
chirping as they flutter by,
who said black birds are beautiful.
Swallows follow them [A]all [D]day,[C]
[D]sparrows stop to watch them [G]play.
[D]Bluebirds never were so gay,
who said [A]blackbirds are [D]blue?[G]
[D]Why, the flo[A]wers, bee[D], riv[A]er, and[D] trees
[G]are [D]thankful when they're around.
[G]And each meadow in [B]land, field of grain,
[D]is lonesome till they come down,
see them minglin' in the
sun.
[D]Everything they do is fun.
Only wish I knew the one
[D]who said black birds [A]are blue.[G][D]
