If _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _
I were _ [G] a _ _ blackbird, _ [Em] _
Wind beneath [A] my _ _ [Am] wings,
I would follow the [G] _ vessel _ _ My [C] true _ love [Em] sails in.
_ _ [A] _ In [Am] _ that [G] hap _ -rigging _ [F] I'd there build [Em] my nest,
_ _ [A] I'd flutter [Am] _ my [G] _ _
wings O [Em]'er her _ lily [A]-white _
_ [Am] breast. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
My words, they [G] are simple, _ _ My [Em] _ story _ _ [A] is true,
[Am] _ O'er once I [G] was _ carefree, _ [F] My _ own path [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] I _ _ [Am] _
courted [G] a lady, _
By [F] _ night and [Em] by day, _ _
_ [Am] But now she [G] has left me _
_ [E] And [Em] gone _
_ [A] far _ _ [Am] _
away. _ _ _ _
_ If I _ were [G] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] a wind beneath [A] my _ [Am] wings, I would _ follow the [G] _ vessel _
_ [F] My true love [Em] _ sails in.
_ _ [Am] _ In that [G] hap-rigging _ _ [F] I'd there build my [Em] _ _ nest,
_ [A] I'd [Am] flutter _ [G] my _ wings _ O'er [Em] her _ lily _ [A]-white _ [Am] breast.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ She _ followed _ [G] me gladly _ _ _ [Em] To _ _ _ _ [A] Donnybrook Fair,
[Am] _ I _ bought her [G] fine _ ribbons _ [F] To tie in [Em] her hair.
_ _ _ [Am] She offered _ [G] to _ marry _ [F] In stay by [Em] my _ side,
_ _ [Am] But by the [G] next morning _ _ _ _ [Em]
She'd sailed _ _ _
_ [Am] with the _ _ _ _ tide. _
_ _ _ If I were [G] a _ _ blackbird _ [Em] _
wind beneath my [A] _ _
[Am] wings,
I would _ follow _ [G] the vessel _ _ [F] My true _ love _ [Em] sails in.

In that [G] hap-rigging _ _ _ [F] I'd there build [Em] my _ nest,
