The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie It's All Crazy, It's All False, It's All A Dream, It's Alright mewithoutYou Tabbed by Matt Giesmann ================================================================================ Notes: Arron's phrasing is hard to keep up with. The chords are over the right words, but it might be necessary to listen to how he is singing each line. Verses: Bm F#m D E Choruses : A E D E (twice as long on each chord, strumming opens up) Interlude: Bm F#m x3 D A ================================================================================ [Verse 1]

^BmThrough mostly ^F#mvacant streets ^DA baker from the ^Eoutskirts of his to^Bmwn Earned his ^F#mliving peddling ^Dsweets From a ragged ^Ecart he dragged ar^Bmound The clever ^F#mfox crept close be^Dhind Kept an ^Eever watchful ^Bmeye For a chance to ^F#msteal a ginger ^Dspice cake Or a ^Eboysenberry ^Bmpie^F#m ^D ^E

[Verse 2]

^BmLooking ^F#mdown was the hungry ^Dcrow: "When the ^Etime is right, I'll ^Bmstrike And conde^F#mscend to the earth be^Dlow And take which^Eever treat I'd ^Bmlike" The moment the ^F#mbaker turned a^Dround To shoo the ^Efox off from his ^Bmcart The crow swooped ^F#mdown and snatched a ^Dshortbread cookie And a ^EGerman chocolate t^Aart

[Chorus 1]

Using most unfriendly ^Ewords That the village children had not yet ^Dheard The baker shouted threats by ^Ecanzonette To curse the crafty ^Abird "You rotten wooden mixing ^Espoon Why, you midnight-winged ^Draccoon You better bring those pastries ^Eback You no-good burned-black macar^Bmoon"^F#m ^D ^E ^Bm ^F#m ^D ^E

[Verse 3]

^BmThe fox approach^F#med the tree Where the ^Dbird was perched de^Elighted in his ^Bmnest "Brother Crow, d^F#mon't you remember me? ^D It's your old friend ^EFox with a humble re^Bmquest If you could ^F#mshare just a modest ^Dpiece Seeing as I dis^Etracted that awful ^Bmman" This failed to per^F#msuade the crow in the^D least So the fox re^Ethought his plan

[Verse 4]

^Bm"Then if your lovely ^F#msong would grace my ^Dears Or to ^Eeven to hear you ^Bmspeak Would ease my ^F#mpains and fears!" The ^Dcrow looked down with the ^Ecandy in his ^Bmbeak "Your poems of ^F#mwisdom, my good ^Dcrow What a ^Eparadise they ^Bmbring!" This flattery ^F#mpleased the proud bird ^DSo he opened his ^Emouth and began to ^Asing:

[Chorus 2]

"Your subtle acclamation's ^Etrue Best to give praise where praise is ^Ddue Every rook and jay in the C^Eorvidae's Been ravin' about me ^Atoo They admire me, one and ^Eall Must be the passion in my ^Dcaw My slender bill known throughout the ^Eescadrille My fierce commanding ^Bmcla^F#mw!"

[Interlude] Bm F#m Bm F#m D E [Chorus 3]

^AI got a walnut brownie ^Ebrain And molasses in my ^Dveins

Crushed graham cracker crust

My ^Epowdered sugared funnel cake co^Acaine Let the crescent cookie ^Erise These carob-colored almond ^Deyes Would rest to see my cashewed ^Eprincess In the swirling marble ^Asky Would rest upon the ^Eknee Where all of the visions cease to ^Dbe A root-beer float in our ba^Enana boat Across the tapioca ^Asea When letting all attachments ^Ego Is the only prayer we ^Dknow

May it be so

May it be ^Eso May it be so Oh ^A
