[Abm]I left my country when i[Ebm] was nineteen
[Abm] [Ebm]
[1925]
[Abm]And drifted to a town on the [Ebm]Cuban coast
[Abm]Met a woman who became my [Ebm]life
[Abm]And oh when i [Ebm]saw her
[Abm]Darkness fled [Ebm]from me
[Abm]And flew like a blackbird[Ebm] into the sun
[Abm]On the day she married[Ebm] me
Dear[Abm] god[Ebm]
Dear[Abm] god
I rem[Abm]ember climbing [Ebm]up those [Abm]shoulde[Ebm]rs
[Abm]Coming up under [Ebm]you like a[Abm] lion[Ebm]
[Abm]Coming down[Ebm] like we [Abm]were dy[Ebm]ing
Dear go[Abm]d[Ebm]
[Abm]But now the [Ebm]drumbirds [Abm]come for [Ebm]me
[Abm]Oh now the d[Ebm]rumbirds c[Abm]ome for [Ebm]me
[Abm]Lord give me[Ebm] forgiveness
[Abm]For all that i'v[Ebm]e done
[Abm]Forgive me now of the [Ebm]weight i bear
Don'[Abm]t keep me on [Ebm]the run
Dear go[Abm]d[Ebm]
Dear go[Abm]d[Ebm]
I reme[Abm]mber climbing [Ebm]up those [Abm]shoulde[Ebm]rs
[Abm]Coming up under [Ebm]you like a[Abm] lion[Ebm]
[Abm]Coming down[Ebm] like we [Abm]were dy[Ebm]ing
Dear go[Abm]d
