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

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.

Come join the (C)mur der;

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 mong the chil dren of my fa thers;

They (Dm)call to me, but nev er touch my (Bb)heart, now.
I I am too far;

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;
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;

- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
