[Intro]
G Gm G Gm
[Verse 1:]
Gm
Down came a blackbird
Set on a fence
Gm
Talking in riddles
Making no sense
C
Cause she's gone
Gm
You're baby's gone
Gm
Down came a blackbird
Perched on pole
Gm
Took out a mirror
And said, "Son, behold"
C
Cause she's gone
D
Your baby's gone
[Chorus:]
G
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink
Head hanging over the kitchen sink
G
Gone like the wind through a cabin door
Never gonna blow that way no more
G
Gone like the song of a mockingbird
G
Laughing at every little thing he heard
G
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke
She ain't coming back
And it ain't no joke
C
She's gone
D
Your baby's gone
[Verse 2:]
Gm
Down came a blackbird
Set by the fire
Gm
Said the future's coming at you
Like a freight train
Gm
And you're walking a wire
C
Cause she's gone
D
You're baby's gone
[Chorus:]
G
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink
Head hanging over the kitchen sink
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke
She ain't coming back
And it ain't no joke
C
She's gone
D
Your baby's gone
[Bridge:]
Em
She says she doesn't want a man
Who hangs around the house
Am
Who doesn't say a word
Unless he's shooting off his mouth
G
There's got to be a better way
C
To be a lovin' wife
D
If she stays here
She'll end up her waitress for life
Gm
Down came a blackbird
Gm
Set on a fence
Gm
Talking in riddles
Gm
And making absolutely perfect sense
C
Cause she's gone
D
Your baby's gone
[Chorus:]
G
Gone like a dollar spent on a drink
Head hanging over the kitchen sink
Gone like the wind through a cabin door
Never gonna blow that way no more
G
Gone like the song of a mockingbird
Laughing at every little thing he heard
Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke
She ain't coming back
And it ain't no joke
