I There’s a black bird perched out side my win dow.

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;

We’ll give you (C)free dom

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
