[Verse]
              E7           
Why you wanna fly blackbird
               Ab7      
You ain't ever gonna fly
                        Ab7    
No place big enough for holding
                           Ab7
All the tears you're gonna cry
                            Ab7   
'cause your mama's name was lonely
                 Ab7          
And your daddy's name was pain
         Ab7                   
And they call you little sorrow
                         Ab7  
'cause you'll never love again
                     E7       
So why you wanna fly blackbird
