Yon Two Crows

Written by Mark Knopfler

	  		


Intro: Am


Am 
                     Ammaj7 
Pennies from heaven 
                     Am7 
Don?t make me laugh 
Here all you?ll get  
        Am6 
Is the pattering rain 
    F               C/G 
Or yon two crows up over the hill 
         G 
Looking for winterkill 

Am 
Always at your boots 
     Ammaj7              Am7 
The mud behind the byre  
           Am6 
With its clammy hold  
       F 
Would mock you up a grave 
     C/G                G  
Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold 

C/G 

And all you?ll bring to this  
    F               C/G 
Is muscle and grit 
                     F             C/G 
Persistence, that?s just about it 
What made you think 
              F 
There?d be a living in sheep? 
 C/E  F    C/E             F        
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep 


Am 

Duck under the eaves 
        Ammaj7  
Of the bothy 
    Am7                Am6  F 
To sit here, caged by rain 
Somewhere to go conjure 
   C 
A next move 
                 G 
When I have to think again 

Am 
                   Ammaj7        Am7 
The dog lifts his gaze to plead 
                           Am6         F 
Believes the wizard has a magic stick 
                     C 
Leans his weight into my tweed 
                  G 
I give an unholy hand to lick 

   C 
I take a swig of sheep dip  
  F            C 
From my flask 
           F          C 
And once again I ask 
What made you think 
              F 
There?d be a living in sheep? 
 C    F    C            F 
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep 


 Am C  G    Em  
 Am  Em   G  Am  
 Am      


Am 

They were at this game  
             Ammaj7    Am7 
Two hundred years ago 
Had thirty ways 
          Am6               F 
Of dying young, poor souls 
                       C/G 
Laid to rest in their soggy rows 
               G 
Rain on their holy books 

Am 
                  Ammaj7 
Blood and whisky  
               Am7 
On the tongue 
                         Am6     F 
And no-one watching over anyone 
                       C 
No-one left but your stubborn one 
          G 
And the crows and rooks 


C 
         F           C 
Ah, the dying young  
     F             C/G 
Well I?m not done 
                 F 
You watch me and I?ll watch thee  
        C 
I can still work for two men 
      F              C 
And drink for three 
And I raise my flask 
         F             C/G  
To the clearing skies 
To you, sweepers  
     F             C/G 
You carrion spies 
            F            C/G 
To scavenge and survive 
                  F 
If you can do it     so can I 


 Am C  G    Em  
 Am  Em   G  Am
