I do this in 3 chords. But i play it a little bluesier, and not so much
blue grass.
BLACKBIRDS AND THE CROWS
nashville bluegrass band
Eva was a fast thang, most everybody knew
wile other girls were running wild, Eva flew
her life was the fast lane, but it soon began show
so i begged her w/ me to go, to a little home here in Idaho,
with the Blackbirds and the Crows
one year we were happy, tried to keep our lives on track
while i was looking to the future, Eva was lookin back
she said she missed her old life, she was truthful i suppose
but the truth was she could never leave, thruth was all the nights i greive
if i ever had to let her go.
chorus:
blackbird sat on a fence line
crow flew through the sky
I whispered low into Eva's ear
eva your gonna die.........
she's a half a mile out and a quarter across
beneath those wheat field rows
and no on knows who put her there
'cept the blackbirds and the crows
folks come by and we sit around
and i tellem how she's gone
i tellem how she packed her bags and
wrecked our happy home
oh i tellem she down in atlanta,
doin cocaine god only knows
but eva's not gone she's here w/ me
right here where she'll always be
w/ the blackbirds and the crows
repeat chorus and fade
