He worked the rails
He worked the rice fields
F
With their cool, dark wells
Am G C
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
F C
The only thing he's ever owned
G C
Is this old house here by the road
[Chorus]
Am
And when he dies
G C
He says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
F C
He will fly away to Heaven
G C C C
Come some sweet, blue bonnet spring
[Verse]
C
She walked through springtime
F C
Whеn he was home
The days werе sweet
F
The nights were warm
Am G C
The seasons change, the jobs would come, the flowers fade
F C
And this old house felt so alone
G C
When the work took me away
[Chorus]
Am
And when she dies
G C
She says she'll catch some blackbird's wing
F C
She will fly away to Heaven
G C
Come some sweet, blue bonnet spring

Jobs are gone
They tend their garden
F
They set the sun
Am G C
This is the only place on Earth blue bonnets grow
F C
Once a year they come and go
G C
This old house here by the road
[Chorus]
Am
And when they die
G C
They say they'll catch some blackbird's wing
F C
They will fly away to Heaven
G C
Some sweet, blue bonnet spring
Am
Yes, when we die we say
G C
We'll catch some blackbird's wing
F Am
We will fly away together
G C C
Some sweet blue bonnet spring

Verse 1
Gulf Coast Highway
He worked the rails
He worked the rice fields
With their cool dark wells
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
The only thing he's ever owned
Is this old house here by the road
Chorus
And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
He will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
Verse 2
She walked through springtime
When he was homе
The days were sweet
Thе nights were warm
The seasons change, the jobs would come, the flowers fade
And this old house felt so alone
When the work took him away
Chorus
And when she dies she says she'll catch some blackbird's wing
She will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
Verse 3
Highway 90
The jobs are gone
We tend their garden
They set the sun
This is the only place on Earth blue bonnets grow
And once a year they come and go
At this old house here by the road
Chorus
And when they die they say they'll catch some blackbird's wing
They will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
Yes, when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
We will fly away together
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
