[Primeira Parte]

                Dm
Do you want to follow me indoors
        A
If the elevator be my floor
                  Dm                                                    
There's a lonely blackbird on the telephone wire
                C
He's there most days
                 Dm
If we don't have time for everything
                    A
Let's at least sit quietly with him
        Dm                                    G                  A
Just long enough to notice when he flies away because he always flies away

[Segunda Parte]

              Dm
And tomorrow everything will change
                    A
That's what all our teachers used to say
                 Dm                                          C
We don't need to wonder if the rows on our face will turn to grey       
                      Dm
But since we know the movements of the stars
        A
We know exactly where we are
             Dm                                   G
And we'll be together when the leaves are acting strange
                 A
We'll watch them fly away

[Ponte]

                Dm
They always fly away
                Dm
They always fly away
                Dm
They always fly away

[Terceira Parte]

                     Dm
There's a mountain underneath the clouds
                   A
There's a heaven underneath us now
                     Dm                                         C
Can you make out the diamonds on the edge of the sea from where you lay
                    Dm
There's a blackbird sitting on a line
                   A
And we're all here navigating time
            Dm                       G              A
Let's watch him long enough until he flies away... they always fly away

                Dm
They always fly away
