[Verse 1]
The blackbirds came at dusk and they roosted in the cane,
Raised such a ruckus, that it shook my windowpane,
And I’m covered up in dirt, and I stink of kerosene,
And no matter what I do, I can’t get clean! | / / / /__/ |

[Verse 2]
Last thing I remember was your footsteps in the hall,
Whisky in your voice, and a shotgun on the wall,
Now there’s shadows in the shadows, there’s trouble in the cane,
And there’s things you do ..that you just can’t ex – plain!


Un – easy lies the head, un – faithful is the heart,
Un – grateful, and un – lucky, and un – true,
And no one saw me come, and no one saw me go,[Em/A][Em/B]
Only the blackbirds, …and you!

[Verse 3]
Come harvest in the cane fields the sky turns black with smoke,
So I took our father’s gun, and a heavy piece of rope,
And I left you lying there, like rotten fruit upon the ground,
And I lit a torch, and I burned the whole thing down!


Un – easy lies the head, un – faithful is the heart,
Un – grateful, and un – lucky, and un – true,
And no one saw me come, and no one saw me go,[Em/A][Em/B]
Only the blackbirds, …and you!



Ah, ah, ah---! Ah, ah - ah, ah---!


Ah, ah, ah---! Ah, ah - ah---!

| / / / /__/ | / / / /__/ |

[Verse 4]
Our father was a farmer, he planted fields of cane,
He planted seeds of evil, and we harvested the shame,
Oh, but I’m the last one standing, there’s no one left to tell,
And when it’s my time I'll see you both in hell!


Un – easy lies the head, un – faithful is the heart,
Un – grateful, and un – lucky, and un – true,
And no one saw me come, and no one saw me go,[Em/A][Em/B]
Only the blackbirds, …and you!


And no one saw me come, and no one saw me go,[Em/A][Em/B]
Only the blackbirds …and you—–!
