Follow the Blackbird Shelly Brown

- the storm has passed over, its all fallen to the ground.
the chips lay where they fell, and now they’re just washing further down
II G I % I C I % I
I D I % I D I % I G I % II
- the light has turned so slowly, washing all to grey again
a sea mist hangs about me, as i hold on to the past, my friend.
II G I % I C I % I
I D I % I G I % II
- & a new day will be dawning, just like its always planned
& my neighbours will come out yawning, hugging warm coffee in their hands
CHORUS
II C I C I G I G I
and if you’re cold, wrap yourself up in my hope
I C I C I D I D I
I G I G I C I C I
I D I D I G I G II
and if your lost, follow the blackbird of doubt to my home. Oooh’s
II G I % I C I % I
I D I % I D I % I G I % II
- i will sit here waiting, full of golden sunlight
trying to draw the curtains, of holding you in my mind
II: G I % I C I % I
I D I % I G I % :II
- and a silver jet streaks by, holding the lives of other men
and i’ll be wondering if you are, holding on to the past, my friend.
CHORUS
