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                       G
And as he spreads his wings and 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             Em
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Em          Em          A
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
C              G              F                     Em
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?

[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                               Em
To trigger that their fate is surely 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                               Em
That's struggled on the road for so, so long

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

[Bridge]
G5   x4
(similar to intro w/bass guitar playing melody)

[Chorus instrumental] (x2)
Em          Em          A
La la la la la la la
C              G        F     Em
La la la la la la la

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

[Outro]
Em               Em                    A
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
C                G                     F                Em
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
