Blackbird - The Beatles (Cover)

Figure I'd throw my hat into the ring of one of the most popular guitar covers on youtube. The song was recorded by Paul McCartney two months after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed during the civil rights movement.

Lyrics
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
