[G]Well they’ve got a little game called five card draw,
they take it serious in Arkansas
[G]You can [C]make a little money wagerin’ on cards
[G]Can’t get to heaven livin’ this hard
[D]Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
(Riff…) G
Release me from my burden and pain
[G]It’s a one eyed jack and the suicide king
Ace of spades and two black queens
[C]Never draw to an inside straight
I f[G]eel the ten’s knockin’ at the gate
[D]Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
(Riff…) G
Release me from my burden and pain
Chorus:
[G]Oh [C]blackbird, blackbird fly away home
[G]Say a prayer over St. John’s bones
[D]Tell the gambler’s their gonna die alone
[G]Blackbird, blackbird fly away home
[C]Oh blackbird, blackbird come back again
[G]Don’t tell momma where I’ve been
[D]I’m goin’ to the river, I’m gonna jump in
[G]Oh blackbird, blackbird come back again
(Solo) C G D G C G D (Riff…) G
[G]It’s an ace high straight in all the same suit
Read’em and weep this hand can’t lose
[C]Somebody said that ain’t good enough
[G]‘Cause that don’t beat a Mississippi Flush
[G]Mr. Ledbetter can you tell me again?
[G]What’s a Mississippi Flush and how’s it beat this hand?
[C]He said they don’t ask questions in the grave yard
[G]It’s a small revolver and any five cards
[D]Deliver me from my sorrow and shame
(Riff…) G
Release me from my burden and pain
(Chorus)
