Capo on 2nd fret C Gulf coast highway, he worked the rails F He worked the rice fields with their cool, dark wells Am G C He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico F C G C The only thing we've ever owned is this old house here by the road Am G C And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing F C G C And he will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring. C She walked through springtime when I was home F Our days were sweet, our nights were warm Am G C The seasons changed, the jobs would come, the flowers fade F C G C And this house felt so alone, when the work took me away Am G C And when she dies he says she'll catch some blackbird's wing F C G C And she will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring. C Higway 90, the jobs are gone now F We tend our garden and we set the sun Am G C This is the only place on earth Blue Bonnets grow F C G C And once a year they come and go at this old house here by the road Am G C And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing F C G C And we will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring. Am G C And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing F C G C And we will fly away together, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring.
