I There’s a black bird perched out side my win dow.
I hear him call ing;
I hear him (Am)sing.
He (Dm)burns me with his eyes of gold to (Bb)em bers.
He sees all my sins;
he reads my (C)soul.
And (Bb)One day that bird, is what he spoke to me, like Mar tin (Dm)Lu ther, like Per i cles:
“Come join the (C)mur der;
come fly with (C)black.
We’ll give you (C)free dom
from the hu man (C)trap.
Come join the (C)mur der;
soar on my (C)wings.
You’ll touch the (C)hand of God,
and He’ll make you (C)king,
and He’ll make you (C)king.”
I On a blan ket made of wo ven shad ows,
flew up to heav en
on ra ven’s (Am)glide.
These (Dm)an gels, me, they turned my wings to (Bb)wax, now.
I fell like Ju das,
well, grace de (C)nied.
And (Bb)on that can day, is what he lied to me, like Mar tin (Dm)Lu ther, like Per i cles.
“Come join the (C)mur der;
come fly with (C)black.
We’ll give you (C)free dom
from the hu man (C)trap.
Come join the (C)mur der;
soar on my (C)wings.
You’ll touch the (C)hand of God,
and He’ll make you (C)king,
and He’ll make you (C)king.”
and He’ll make you (C)king.”
I On a mong the chil dren of my fa thers;
the bro ken wings, en
be tray al’s (Am)cost.
They (Dm)call to me, but nev er touch my (Bb)heart, now.
I I am too far;
well, I’m too (C)lost.
And (Bb)All I can day, is what he spoke to me, like Mar tin (Dm)Lu ther, like Per i cles:
“Come join the (C)mur der;
come fly with (C)black.
We’ll give you (C)free dom
from the hu man (C)trap.
Come join the (C)mur der;
soar on my (C)wings.
You’ll touch the (C)hand of God,
and He’ll make you (C)king,
and He’ll make you (C)king.”
and He’ll make you (C)king.”
and He’ll make you (C)king.”
So now I curse that ra ven’s (Bbsus2)fi re:
“You made me hate,
you made me (Am)burn.”
He (Dm)laughed a loud as he flew from E den,
“You al ways (F)knew.
You nev er (C)learn.”
The (Gm)crow no (Dm)long er (Am7)sings to (Bb)me, like Mar tin (Dm)Lu ther or Per i cles:
“Come join the (C)mur der;
come fly with (C)black.
We’ll give you (C)free dom
from the hu man (C)trap.
Come join the (C)mur der;
soar on my (C)wings.
And You’ll touch the hand of God,
and He’ll make you (C)king.
“Come join the (C)mur der;
come fly with (C)black.
We’ll give you (C)free dom
from the hu man (C)trap.
Come join the (C)mur der;
soar on my (C)wings.
And you’ll touch the hand of God,
and He’ll make you (C)king.
and He’ll make you (C)king,
and He’ll make you (C)King.”
