th Fret Intro: Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird Red-winged blackbird down my road Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird Red-winged blackbird down my road He'll be there beside the river When winter finally breaks its bones He'll be king among the rushes He'll be master of his home Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird Red-winged blackbird down my road Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird Red-winged blackbird down my road Safe as Moses in the rushes Makes his home on the river wide Every time I hear him singing Makes me feel like spring inside Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird Red-winged blackbird down my road Thought I heard a red-winged blackbird Red-winged blackbird down my road Instrumental:
