Fairport Convention - Crazy man michael

^BmWithin the f^Dire and o^Aut upon the ^Fmsea ^BmCrazy Man Mi^Achael was wal^Bmking ^BmHe met with a ra^Dven with e^Ayes black as c^Fmoals ^BmAnd shortly t^Ahey were a-ta^Bmlking

^Fm"Your future, your futur^Bme, I would tell to you ^FmYour future, you often have a^Asked me ^BmYour true love will d^Aie by your ^Bmown right h^Fmand ^BmAnd Crazy Man Mi^Achael will cu^Bmrsed be"

^BmMichael he r^Danted and^A Michael he ^Fmraved ^BmAnd beat at the four wi^Ands with his f^Bmists-oh ^BmHe laughed and he cr^Died, he sh^Aouted and he s^Fmwore ^BmFor his mad mind had tra^Apped him with a k^Bmiss-oh

"Y^Fmou speak with an evil, ^Bmyou speak with a hate You s^Fmpeak for the devil that ha^Aunts me For ^Bmis she not the fa^Airest in ^Bmall the broad l^Fmand? Your sor^Bmceror's wo^Ards are to ta^Bmunt me"

^BmHe took out his da^Dgger of f^Aire and of s^Fmteel And st^Fmruck down the raven through the h^Aeart-oh ^BmThe bird fluttered lo^Dng and the s^Aky it did s^Fmpin ^FmAnd the cold ea^Arth did wonder and s^Bmtart-oh

"^FmOh, where is the raven that^Bm I struck down dead That h^Fmere'd lie here on the gr^Aound-oh? I ^Bmsee but my t^Arue love with a w^Bmound so ^Fmred" Her lo^Bmver's h^Aeart it did p^Bmound-oh

^BmCrazy Man Mic^Dhael, he w^Aanders and w^Fmalks And talks to the night and the day-oh ^BmBut his eyes they are s^Dane and his s^Apeech it is c^Fmlear And he l^Bmongs to be f^Aar a^Bmway-oh

Mi^Fmchael he whistles the si^Bmmplest of tunes And a^Fmsks the wild woods their pa^Ardon For his t^Bmrue love is fl^Aown into e^Bmvery flower g^Fmrown And ^Bmhe must be k^Aeeper of the g^Bmarden
