lyrics

In C. Intro is C to Am

C
OLD MAN WALKS DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE RD WITH THE DEVIL ON HIS BACK
Am C
HE WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN OVER THE RAILROAD TRACK
C
BLACKBIRD FLIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IS SHE HOMEWARD BOUND
Am C
I HEAR HER WINGS GO BY FROM DOWN HERE ON THE GROUND

OCEAN HANGS LIKE A PENDANT FROM THE MOON
IN HER HEAVING BREAST
THE DAY THE FIRE GOES OUT
LAY ME DOWN TO REST

BLACKBIRD FLIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
IS SHE HOMEWARD BOUND
I HEAR HER WINGS GO BY
FROM DOWN HERE ON THE GROUND

CHORUS
F C
AND FROM WHERE I STAND I WON’T LOOK BACK
C G C
WHEN THE SUN SINKS LOW AND THE SKY TURNS BLACK
F C
AND FROM WHERE I STAND I WON’T LOOK DOWN
C G C
BEEN STANDING ON THE EDGE NOW I’M HOMEWARD BOUND


SOLO (= CHORUS PATTERN)


OLD MAN LIES AT THE BOTTOM OF A DITCH
HIS BODY OUT OF SIGHT
BUT IT’S USELESS NOW
HIS SOUL IS ON HIGH

FERRYMAN COME TO CARRY US AWAY
OUT ACROSS THE LAKE
THROUGH THE WALL OF FIRE
WITH OUR SOULS AT STAKE
CHORUS

AND FROM WHERE I STAND I WON’T LOOK BACK
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN AND THE SKY TURNS BLACK
AND FROM WHERE I STAND I WON’T LOOK DOWN
BEEN STANDING ON THE EDGE NOW I’M HOMEWARD BOUND
