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)
