Kentucky Bluebird (Send A Message To Martha)

F                           Bb 
Spread your wings for New Orleans 
         Bbm       F 
Kentucky bluebird, fly away 
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha 
                        Bb 
She sings each night in some cafe 
       F              Bbmaj7  
In her search to find wealth and fame 
C                 C7                   F           
I hear Martha has gone and changed her name 
 
It's a year since she was here 
Kentucky bluebird, fly away 
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha 
Tell her I miss her more each day 
As her train pulled out down the track 
Martha promised she'd soon be coming back 
 
                              C          Am 
Oh tell her how my heart just breaks, in two 
                    F 
Since she journeyed far 
                              C        Am  
And even though her dreams of fame fell through 
   Bbmaj7             C 
To me she will always be a star 
 
Spread your wings for New Orleans 
Kentucky bluebird, fly away 
And take a message to Martha, message to Martha 
Ask her to start for home today 
When you find her please let her know 
Rich or poor, I will always love her so 
 
F            Bb        
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird (repeat and fade)
