A Oh death, oh death are you a blackwing butterfly? E A Are you death here to touch me on my shoulder as I cry? E Silent and unnoticed up against the evening sky, A E A Death, are you a blackwing butterfly? A Is this the end, oh the end, blackwing butterfly? E Bm A Did you summon all the angels for a bedside lullaby? E We all just keep on singing and wait for Heaven’s trumpets cry A E D Sing it loud, blackwing butterfly E D A Hallelujah, Hallelujah A Don’t pass me by, don’t pass my by, Blackwing butterfly E A Are you here for another, must I suffer in this life? E ‘Cause I’m weak from all this loving and I think it is my time A E A Take me now, blackwing butterfly E D A Hallelujah, Hallelujah A Do you know how I’m aching, blackwing butterfly? E A Do you know how I’m aching when I see you fly on by E ‘Cause I thought you’d take this heartache Up to heaven by and by A E A But you left me, my blackwing butterfly E D A Hallelujah, Hallelujah
