Crazy Man Michael

Bm D A G


[Verse 1]
    Bm     D        A            
Within the fire and out upon the 
F#m
sea,
Bm          F#m         Bm
  Crazy man Michael was walking.
   Bm         D          A       
He met with a raven with eyes 
      F#m
black as coal,
    Bm      F#m       Bm
And shortly they were talking.


[Verse 2]
     F#m                           
"Your   future, your future, I will
Bm
  tell to you.
     F#m                   A
Your future you often have asked me.
     Bm             F#m         
Your true love will die by your 
Bm        F#m
own right hand,
    Bm        F#m          Bm
And crazy man Michael will cursed 
be.”

[Verse 3]
      Bm         D          A    
Well, Michael he ranted and 
      F#m
Michael he raved,
       Bm               F#m       
And he beat at the four winds with
     Bm
 his fists-o.
         Bm             D         
Well, he laughed and he cried, he 
A              F#m
shouted and he swore,

        Bm         F#m            
For his mad mind entrapped him 
    Bm
with a first-hold.


[Verse 4]
     F#m                     Bm
"You speak with an evil, you speak 
with a hate.
    F#m                      A
You speak for the devil that haunts 
me.
    Bm             F#m        Bm 
For is she not the fairest in all
           F#m
 the broad land?
     Bm         A            Bm
Your sorcerer's words are to taunt 
me.”

[Verse 5]
         Bm           D         A
Well, he took out his dagger of 
              F#m
fine and broad steel,
      Bm                A   
And he  struck down the raven 
              Bm
through the heart-o.
          Bm             D        
Well, the bird fluttered long, and
     A          F#m
 the sky it did spin,
         Bm             A    
And this cold earth did wander 
         Bm
'round startled.

[Verse 6]
    F#m          D          Bm
Oh, where is the raven that I struck
 down dead,
    F#m                 A
And here did lye on the ground-o?
  Bm     F#m              Bm      
I see my true love with a wound so
 F#m
 red
     Bm                 F#m  
Where  her lover's heart   did 
  Bm
pound-o.


[Verse 7]
Bm        D           A          
Crazy man Michael, he wanders, 
  F#m
I’m told,
       Bm                A        
And he talks through the night and
     Bm
 the day-o,
        Bm            D            
But his eyes they are sane and his 
A         F#m
speech is plain,
       Bm          F#m  Bm
But he longs to be far away-o.


[Verse 8]
F#m                     Bm
Michael he whistles the simplest of 
tunes,
       F#m                         
And he asks of the wild wolves 
  A
their pardon,
        Bm            F#m        
But his true love has flown into 
Bm           F#m
every flower grown,
    Bm         F#m           Bm
And he must be keeper of the garden.
