[Am]I know why the b[C]lackbird sings
[F]hi[C]s [G]strange and mournful song on a summer s night
[Am]I kn[C]ow why the spirit brings
[F]us [C]back[G] into this world until we get it right
[Am]I m on a roll
[C]and[G] I begin to see the light
[Am]bless my soul
[C]I v[G]e been around so many times
[Am]I kno[C]w why the baby cries
[F]it [C]s w[G]ay into the arms of a mother s love
[Am]I k[C]now why true love survives
[F]and[C] it[G] is more than the red hot fire of another s t ouch
[Am]I m on a roll
[C]and[G] I am not afraid to fight
[Am]bless my soul
[C]on[G] a long hot summer s night
It m[F]ight seem fair to warn you
that there s not[G]hing here to stop me
(from dr[Am]owning in the darkness
of the t[G]hings I can t control
the a[F]ngel near my heaven
who I kn[G]ow will always haunt me
is const[Am]ant and convincing
I ve a l[F]ong l[C]ong wa[G]y to go
INTRO RIFF
[Am]I know w[C]hy the day is long
[F]whe[C]n t[G]here is no one to talk to about my dreams
[Am]I kno[C]w when the evening comes
[F]tha[C]t I [G]will know the song of desire that the blackbird sings
[Am]I m on a roll
[C]and[G] I am not afraid to fight
[Am]bless my soul
[C]I v[G]e been around so many time
