[Verse 1]
    Bm
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's
 in the corn
G          D            A       
now is the time,  for a child to
    Bm
 be born
      Bm                           
he'll laugh at the moon and cry for
     F#m
 the sun
    G         D           A       
and if it's a boy,  he'll carry a 
Bm
gun
         Em           Bm
sang the crow, on the cradle

[Verse 2]
    Bm
and if it should be that this baby's
 a girl
G         D           A          
never you mind if her hair 
  Bm
doesn't curl
     Bm                            
with rings on her fingers and bells
        F#m
 on her toes
      G       D            A     
and a bomber above her wherever 
   Bm
she goes

         Em           Bm
sang the crow, on the cradle

[Verse 3]
    Bm
the crow on the cradle, the black 
and the white
G          D          A          
somebody's baby,   is born for a 
Bm
fight
    Bm                           
the crow on the cradle, the white 
         F#m
and the black
G          D         A          Bm
somebody's baby,  is not coming back
         Em          Bm
sang the crow, on the cradle

[Verse 4]
     Bm
your mother and father will sweat 
and they'll slave
   G           D          A      
to build you a coffin and dig you
   Bm
 a grave
Bm                               
hush-a-bye little one, never you 
F#m
weep
    G           D            A   
for we've got a toy that can put 
       Bm
you to sleep
         Em            Bm
sang the crow   on the cradle

[Verse 5]
Bm
bring me my gun, and I'll shoot that
 bird dead
G                D          A   
that's what your mother and 
        Bm
father once said
    Bm                             
the crow on the cradle, what can we
  F#m
 do
    G         D               A  
Ah, this is a thing that I'll 
         Bm
leave up to you
         Em            Bm       F#m
sang the crow   on the cradle
G         D                 A   
this is a thing,  that I'll 
        Bm
leave up to you
         Em           Bm
sang the crow  on the cradle
