[VERSE 1]
Dm A
Poor, poor Lenore
Dm
carried off by crows
A
as she wandered alone
Dm A
where the red oaks grow
Dm A
Black, black were their beaks
Dm
twisted in her hair
A
and black were their wings
Dm A
whipping up through the air
[CHORUS]
F C
Fly, fly into the breeze,
Dm A
Lenore and the crows,
F C
to the top of a dead tree
Dm E A
where the heartbroken go
[G O]

[VERSE 2]
Dm A
Love, she fell in love
Dm
with the grave digger's son
A
who was thin as the bow
Dm A
of his black violin
Dm A
Kiss, he kissed so hard
Dm
her mouth filled with blood
A
then he left her to cry
Dm A
where the red oaks die
[CHORUS]
F C
Fly, fly into the breeze,
Dm A
Lenore and the crows,
F C
to the top of a dead tree
Dm E A
where the heartbroken go
