[INTRO]
[C]

[VERSE 1]
N.C.
Gulf coast [C]highway, I [F]worked the [C]rails
I [F]worked the [C]rice fields with their [G]cool, dark [F]wells
I worked the [Am]oil rigs in the [G]Gulf of Mexi[C]co
The only [F]thing I ever [C]owned is this old [G]house here by the [C]road

[CHORUS]
But when I [Am]die I'm gonna [G]catch some blackbird's [C]wing
I will [F]fly away to [C]heaven, come some [G]sweet Blue Bonnet [C]spring

[VERSE 2]
N.C.
I walked through [C]springtime when [F]we were [C]home
Our days were sweet, our nights were [F]warm
The seasons [Am]changed, jobs would [G]come, the flowers [C]fade
And this old [F]house felt so a[C]lone when [G]work took him a[C]way

[CHORUS]
And when he [Am]dies he says he'll [G]catch some blackbird's [C]wing
He will [F]fly away to [C]heaven, come some [G]sweet Blue Bonnet [C]spring

[VERSE 3]
N.C.
Highway [C]90, the [F]jobs are [C]gone
We tend our garden, we set the [F]sun
This is the [Am]only place on [G]earth Blue Bonnets [C]grow
Once a [F]year they come and [C]grow at this old [G]house here by the [C]road

[CHORUS]
And when we [Am]die we say we'll [G]catch some blackbird's [C]wing
We will [F]fly away to [C]heaven, come some [G]sweet Blue Bonnet [C]spring

[CHORUS]
And when we [Am]die we say we'll [G]catch some blackbird's [C]wing
We will [F]fly away to[C]gether, come some [G]sweet Blue Bonnet [C]spring
