[Verse 1]

G                           Em
Lay down my head turn the eyes up to heaven
G       D                C    E     G
Oh my Soul! Sing that song once again
                                       C               G               D           Em             G
How we turned back the day, stole the bride from the wedding. She was meant for a friend so she said


[Chorus]

I saw blackberry birds in a blue pale sky
         D         Em           G
And I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m alive
                             Em           G
My feelings are black but my memories are white
         D       Em          G
And I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m alive


[Verse 2]

                   C           G                        C          G
And so we had our black forest wedding. Carved our names into the woods
                           C         G                   C         G
She held my hand and took all of my sorrows. And buried all my bad moods


[Chorus]

                             C        G
I saw blackberry birds in a blue pale sky
         D        C           G
And I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m alive
                              C            G
My feelings are black but my memories are white
         D           C         G
And I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m alive
