Lonesome River Band – Blackbirds And Crows Chords

[Intro]
F  G  F
 
[Verse 1]
G                    
Eva was a fast thing, 
C              G
most everybody knew
While other girls were runnin' 
     A     D
wild,  Eva flew
G                           
Her life was the fast lane 
       C             G
but it soon began to show
   C                 G
So I begged her with me to go
     C                   G
To a little home here in Idaho
         D                  G
with the blackbirds and the crows

 
[Verse 2]
G                          C      
One year we were happy and tried 
                     G
to keep our lives on track
G                                 
While I was lookin' to the future, 
A               D
Eva was lookin' back
G                                 
She said she missed the old life 
 C                      G
and she was truthful I suppose
        C                   G
But the truth was she could never leave
    C             G                
The truth was at nights I'd grieve 
     D             G
if I had to let her go

 
[Chorus]
C                                Bb - C
Blackbirds sat on the fence line
C                           Bb - C
Crows flew trhough the sky
C
I whispered low into Eva's ear
A7               D7
Eva your gonna die
C
She's half mile out, a querter across
 C7             G          C7
Beneath those wheat field rows
                      G
And no one knows who put her there
        A7         D7  G
but the blackbirds and crows.

 
[Verse 3]
G
Folks come by, we sit around
      C                   G
And I tell them how she's gone
G                                
Tell them how she packed her bags 
    A7                D7
and wrecked our happy home
     G                       C         
Oh I tell them she's down in Atlanta, 
                                  C7
doing cocaines and God only knows
     C                     G
But Eva's not gone, she's here with me
C                       G         
Right here where she'll always be 
         A7         D7   G
with the blackbirds and crows

 
[Chorus]
C                                 Bb - C
Blackbirds sat on the fence line
C                           Bb - C
Crows flew trhough the sky
C
I whispered low into Eva's ear
A7              D7
Eva your gonna die
C
She's half mile out, a querter across
 C7            G          C7
Beneath those wheat field rows
                     G
And no one knows who put her there
        A7         D7  G
but the blackbirds and crows.
