Bye, Bye, Blackbird
BLACK-BIRD
BLACK-BIRD SING-ING THE BLUES ALL DAY
RIGHT OUT-SIDE OF MY DOOR
BLACK-BIRD BLACK-BIRD WHO DO YOU SIT AND SAY
"THERE'S NO SUN SHINE IN STORE"
ALL THRU THE WIN-TER YOU HUNG A- ROUND
NOW I BE-GIN TO FEEL HOME-WARD BOUND
BLACK-BIRD BLACK-BIRD GOT-TA BE ON MY WAY
WHERE THERE'S SUN-SHINE GA-LORE.
BLUE-BIRD
BLUE-BIRD CALL-ING ME FAR A-WAY
I'VE BEEN LONG-ING FOR YOU
BLUE-BIRD BLUE-BIRD WHY DO YOU SIT AND SAY
"SKIES ARE TURN-ING TO BLUE"
I'M LIKE A FLOW-ER THAT'S FAD-ING HERE
WHERE EV-'RY HOUR IS ONE LONG TEAR
BLUE-BIRD BLUE-BIRD THIS IS MY LUCK-Y DAY
NOW MY DREAMS WILL COME TRUE
Chorus
PACK UP ALL MY CARE AND WOE, HERE I GO SING-ING LOW
BYE BYE BLACK-BIRD
WHERE SOME-BODY-Y WAITS FOR ME, SUG-AR'S SWEET SO IS SHE
BYE BYE BLACK-BIRD
NO ONE HERE CAN LOVE AND UN-DER-STAND ME
OH WHAT HARD LUCK STOR-IES THEY ALL HAND ME
MAKE MY BED AND LIGHT THE LIGHT, I'LL AR-RIVE LATE
TO-NIGHT
BLACK-BIRD BYE BYE
