[Intro]
Blackbird, blackbird, singing blues all day
Right outside my door
Blackbird, blackbird, I gotta be on my way
To where the sun shines once more

[Verse 1]
I pack up all my cares and woes
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye, blackbird

[Verse 2]
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet and so is she
Bye bye, blackbird

[Bridge]
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

[Verse 3]
So, make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

[Piano Solo]

[Bridge]
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

[Verse 3]
Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird
Oh Blackbird, ooh
Blackbird, bye bye

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
