Nice song that has been written and performed by Emm Gryner. This version is a closer
to the "Blackwinged Bird" performed by Nina Persson (The Cardigans) for The Cake Sale
album.
A D A
Night cant come quick enough
D C#m
My faults shine in the sun
F#m D
A train bridge of spies
E
watches all the cars collide
A D A
I roll my green sleeves over ruby
D C#m
I dont blame you for doing it to me
F#m D
Real girls dont take aim
E
like kings do these days
D A
I made my mind up to be a black-winged bird
D A
Never turn my head for how things were
D C#m7
Leave the bluest skies for boys to burn
C#m7 D
And Ill soar on my way
A Bm C#m
D
Sad as the state of things we cant change
A D A
Now were paper dolls all aflame
D C#m
In houses that all look the same
F#m D
Rows of regret
E
An arson for a wilderness
A D A
I hide my saints in the willow trunk
D C#m
Yeah You started me on this junk
F#m D
Now my black lungs are blue
E
But I’m still singing to you.
F#m
I’m still singing to you
Solo: (F#m) D A E x2
D A
I made my mind up to be a black-winged bird
D A
Never turn my head for how things were
D E
Leave the bluest skies for boys to burn
(F#m) D A E
Aaaaaaaaaahhh (fade in)
