Lay down my head turn the eyes up to heaven
G D C E G
Oh my Soul! Sing that song once again

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]

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
