# Listen to the song for the strumming pattern (pluck the G G string and strums down twice for a simple version). For the last line of the intro to the chorus, in the line "One day the one you battle might be me", on "me" she plays a C C and afterwards an Am Am along with the C C, and then slides her finger up 1 fret from the Am Am and back again, maintaining the hold on the C C: C C, Am/C Am/C, Am+1 Am+1/C, Am/C Am/C. In chart form it looks like this:

F F Dm Dm
If I was not afraid to meet
Bb Bb F F
then I might live in peace.
A A Dm Dm
I'd give away my wooden ears,
G7 G7 Bb Bb F F
help you teach your frozen lips to speak.

F F Dm Dm
You have not stolen here
Bb Bb F F
but you can hardly sleep.
A A Dm Dm
The horns and shells you've gathered here,
G7 G7 Bb Bb C C Am/C Am/C, Am+1 Am+1/C, Am/C Am/C
one day the one you battle might be me.

Dm Dm F F
Blackbird, go lost
Bb Bb F F C C Am/C Am/C, Am+1 Am+1/C, Am/C Am/C
I will bring her back to you in spring.
Dm Dm F F
She won't change at all,
Bm Bm F F (C C Am/C Am/C, Am+1 Am+1/C,) Am/C Am/C (Repeat), single strum C C
let your sparrow fall to what might be.

F F Dm Dm
And when you've done your howling
Bb Bb F F
and done with everything,
A A Dm Dm
if she is gone for months again
G7 G7 Bb Bb F F
will you still say you watch for sparrow wings?

F F Dm Dm
You have not stolen dear,
Bb Bb F F
but I can plainly see
A A Dm Dm
the horns and shells you're holding here,
G7 G7 Bb Bb C C Am/C Am/C, Am+1 Am+1/C, Am/C Am/C
one day the one you battle might be me.

Dm Dm F F
Blackbird, go lost
Bb Bb F F C C Am/C Am/C, Am+1 Am+1/C, Am/C Am/C
I will bring her back to you in spring.
Dm Dm F F
She won't change at all,
Bb Bb F F C C Am/C Am/C, Am+1 Am+1/C, Am/C Am/C
let your sparrow fall to what might be.

Dm Dm F F
She won't change at all,
Bb Bb F F
let your sparrow fall.
Dm Dm F F
She won't change at all,
Bb Bb F F
let your sparrow fall.
