Black Crow

Em
He sees the stormy anger of the 
world
A
And wants no part of it at all
           C                 G
And as the weeping leaves of Autumn 
curl
F                          Em
He feels the savage winter call

[Verse 2]
Em
See far below the dust of conflict 
settles on the hill
A
Where there was no escape before
        C                      
And as he spreads his wings and 
 G
soars up to another level
F                            Em
He brings the icy prophecies of war

[Chorus]
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me 
where you really go
C              G              F 
When you fly into the sunset, 
            Em
high in evening sky,
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me what
 you really know
C              G              F 
Will we flourish in this 
                    Em
hurricane, or will we fall and die?

Continues after the ad
[Verse 3]
Em
While children lose their souls and 
so much more
A
To ragged armies of the field
C                         G
A vicious fanfare cries appeasing 
hungry savages
F                               
To trigger that their fate is surely
Em
 sealed

[Verse 4]
Em
I wonder where that black crow 
sleeps as day beckons the night
A
Or if he even sleeps at all
C                               G
I wonder what he thinks of all the 
human traffic far below
F                               
That's struggled on the road for so,
Em
 so long

[Chorus]
Em          Em          A
Tell me black crow, black crow, so 
lovely you pass above
C               G                
Well, understanding everything, 
       F               Em
but you know nothing at all
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me what
 you really know
C              G                 
Do you understand the pain 
       F               Em
...that we feel down here at all

Em          Em          A

La la la la la la la

[Chorus]
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me 
where you really go
C              G              F 
Will you fly into the sunset, 
            Em
high in evening sky,
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me what
 you really know
C                G               
Will we flourish in this 
      F            Em
hurricane, or will we fall and die?

hurricane, or will we fall and die?
