Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em - | C B | Em - | C B |
| Em - | C B | Em - |

[Verse 1]
C
B      Em
 She's black and red and built just like a spy plane
C B Em
  Extracting information from my mind
C B   D
  The photographs she takes into her mainframe
C B   Em                                 C B
  For your eyes only lonely cold war time

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

[Chorus]
Leave me here alone to collect my things
C
 She sees music in the terror she brings
Em           D           C
  And like a technicolor dream
                 Em             D
The light in your  eyes blinded me
From the perch she softly smiled
                    Em
My blackbird softly smiled

[Interlude]
       | C B | Em - | C B |
| Em - | C B | Em - |

[Verse 2]
C
B      Em
 She's built for speed and made for keeping secrets
C B Em
    Stark and dark against enemy skies
C B   D
  For miles above the earth noone could detect her
C B  Em                                      C B
  My blackbird blows a kiss that ends mankind

[Pre-Chorus]
D
 And all this time there is no crime or treason that she
          G
hasn't seen

[Chorus]
Leave me here alone to collect my things
C
 She sees music in the terror she brings
Em           D           C
  And like a technicolor dream
                 Em             D
The light in your  eyes blinded me
From the perch she softly smiled
                    Em
My blackbird softly smiled

[Bridge]

C G Am G D

SR seven one
G                     Am   G   D
Blackbird from the heaven above

G          Am   G    D
Only spy I ever loved
Em C           G         Am   G    D
    She's the only spy I ever loved

 Now after all the city falls just like the night or an

[Chorus]
Leave me here alone to collect my things

  And like a technicolor dream

The light in your  eyes blinded me
From the perch she softly smiled
                    Em
My blackbird softly smiled
