[Verse 1]
G
Well, they got a little game called five-card draw
G
They take it serious in Arkansas
C
You can make a little money wagerin' on cards
G
You can't get to heaven livin' this hard
D
Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
C* G
Release me from my burden and pain

[Verse 2]
G
It's a one-eyed jack and the suicide king
G
Ace of spades and two black queens
C
Never draw to an inside straight
G
I feel the tens knockin' at the gate
D
Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
C* G
Release me from my burden and pain

[Chorus]
C
Oh blackbird, blackbird, fly away home
G
Say a prayer over St. John's bones
D
Tell the gamblers they're gonna die alone
G
Blackbird, blackbird, fly away home
C
Blackbird, blackbird, come back again
G
Don't tell mamma where I've been
D
I'm goin' to the river, I'm gonna jump in
G
Blackbird, blackbird, come back again

[Solo]
