Lament for Dead Blackbird

This is a three chord song I wrote in 1993 when I was 16 years old, and recorded this solo guitar and vocal version in 2014 on my laptop. Not top quality, but I thought still a decent rendition of a song meant for full band.

Lament for Dead Blackbird

I never thought I’d say goodbye,
I tried to eat away the infection inside - but it didn’t work.

So the petals cried all their tears,
And the wind it sighed through breaths so cold,
And my love it died because no one cared,
I knew I would never see it again.

Out in the cold of a blizzard
I saw a hole within your heart,
Out in the cold I saw a blackbird
With a hole in its head – blood was dripping out.

So the petals cried all their tears,
And the wind it sighed through breaths so cold,
And my love it died because no one cared,
I knew I would never see it again.
So I tried to carry on,
Without a guide how could I?

But I took it upon to judge for myself,
Because no one dared to look inside
This cold, cold heart of mine – so I shot them all.

So the petals cried all their tears,
And the wind it sighed through breaths so cold,
And my love it died because no one cared,
I knew I would never see it again.

So I tried to carry on,
Without a guide how could I?

(And I used my gun, now all my friends are dead.)
