Capo on 2nd fret

[Verse]
C
Gulf coast highway, he worked the rails
F
He worked the rice fields with their cool, dark wells
Am G C
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
F C G C
The only thing we've ever owned is this old house here by the road
Am G C
And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
F C G C
And he will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring.

[Verse]
C
She walked through springtime when I was home
F
Our days were sweet, our nights were warm
Am G C
The seasons changed, the jobs would come, the flowers fade
F C G C
And this house felt so alone, when the work took me away
Am G C
And when she dies he says she'll catch some blackbird's wing
F C G C
And she will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring.

[Verse]
C
Higway 90, the jobs are gone now
F
We tend our garden and we set the sun
Am G C
This is the only place on earth Blue Bonnets grow
F C G C
And once a year they come and go at this old house here by the road
Am G C
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
F C G C
And we will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring.

[Outro]
Am G C
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
F C G C
And we will fly away together, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring.
