[Intro]
Em C Bm x2
Em A G
[Verse]
EmShe's black and red and built just like a spy plane
EmExtracting information from my mind
DThe photograph she takes into her mainCframe
EmFor your eyes only lonely cold war time (Dof mine)
[Pre-Chorus]
DNow after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does
[Chorus]
GLeave me here alone to collect my things
CShe sees music in the terror she bringEms
And like a Dtechnicolor dCream
The light in Emyour eyes blinded Dme
DFrom the perch she softly smiled
My blackbird softly Emsmiled
Em C Bm x2
Em A G
[Verse]
EmShe's built for speed and made for keeping secrets
EmStalking dark and in these skies
DFrom miles above no other ones can deCtect her
EmMy blackbird blows a kiss that ends Dmankind
[Pre-Chorus]
DAnd all this time there is no crime of treason that she hasn't seen
[Chorus]
GLeave me here alone to collect my things
CShe sees music in the terror she bringEms
And like a Dtechnicolor dCream
The light in Emyour eyes blinded Dme
DFrom the perch she softly smiled
My blackbird softly Emsmiled

[Pre-Chorus]
DNow after all the city falls just like the night or an angel does
[Chorus]

CShe sees music in the terror she bringEms
And like a Dtechnicolor Cdream
The light in Emyour eyes blinded Dme
DFrom the perch she softly smiled
My blackbird softly Emsmiled
