Bb                      F
Where be that Blackbird to? I know where he be.
                Eb     Bb
He be up yon Wurzel tree. And I be after he.
  Bb     Eb     Bb         Eb
Now I sees he. He sees I. Buggered if I don't get him.
    Bb    F     Eb    Bb           F  Bb
With a gert big stick I'll knock him down. Blackbird I'll 'ave he.

Verse 1
Bb                     Eb
All my life I'm on the farm, working for me keep.
F                      Bb
Tending pigs and chickens, and them cows and sheep.
                          Eb
But everywhere I'm working, there's one who always mocks me.
   F                       Bb
He's hiding somewhere in the trees, blackbird I'll 'ave he

Verse 2
Bb                       Eb
Underneath the open sky, in spring we loves to dine.
  F                         Bb
We likes to hear the flapping of the missus' washing line.
                        Eb
We listens to a tuneful song, a blackbird or a tit
  F                       Bb
But on me vest and underpants, he scored a direct hit


Verse 3
Bb                      Eb
If I go out poaching, a creeping through the fields.
F                    Bb
With my old retriever, a following at me heels.
                     Eb
If I aim me shotgun, at a pheasant in the hay.
   F                          Bb
That bloody blackbird starts his row, and frightens him away.


Verse 4
Bb                        Eb
No longer can I sleep at night, get peace of any kind
   F                       Bb
That bird'll be the death of me, he's preying on me mind
                        Eb
If I chase him long enough, I'll get'en by and by.
  F                       Bb
And celebrate me victory with a gert big blackbird pie
