If i were a blackbird chords by Josef Locke

Verse 1
(D major) (G major) I am a young maiden,
and my story (D major) is sad,
For once I was courting a brave sailor lad.
He (G major) courted me truly by night and (D major) by day,
But now he has left me and gone far away.
(G major) If I were a blackbird,
I'd whistle (D major) an d sing,
And I'd follow the ship
that my true love sails in,
And in (G major) the top rigging I'd
there build (D major) my nest
And I'd pillow my head on his
lily -white breast (G major) (D major)
(G major) He promised to take me to
Donnybrook (D major) fair
To buy me red ribbons to tie up my hair
And I (G major) know that someday he'll come
back o 'er the (D major) tide
Then surely he'll make me
his own loving (G major) bride
If I were a blackbird
I'd whistle and (D major) sing
And I'd follow the ship that
my pearl of sails in
And in (G major) the top rigging
I'd there build my (D major) nest
And I'd pillow my head on
his lily -white breast (G major) (D major)
(G major) His parents, chide me and will not (D major) agree
That me and my sailor
boy married should be
But (G major) let them deride me
and do what (D major) they will
While there's breath in my body
He's the one I love still
(G major) If I were a blackbird
I'd whistle (D major) an d sing
And I'd follow the chief
That might rule on
St.
Zeke
And in (G major) the top rigging
(D major) I'd (G major) there build my (D major) nest
And I pillowed my head on
his lily (A major) (D major) -white (C minor) (G major) breast.
