Crow

[Intro ]G  Dm  F  C 

G                     Dm 
 I think of you much more than 
                   F                      C 
I would like to admit that I do before strangers 
              G 
But there you are 
                        Dm 
Whistling through the trees again 
                      F 
Rustling through the leaves my friend 
                 C                                   G  Dm  F  C 
A feather on my pillow lets me know that you're near 

G                           Dm 
 I remember the night that you arrived 
                F 
December maybe '95 
                     C                                G 
Your hair and your breath smelled of John Player Specials 
                  Dm 
A stranger who I learned to love 
                      F 
A friend when really no one was 
                 C 
My Daedalus, my wings to fly 
                 G        Dm   F   C 
Why'd you leave me behind? 

G               Dm 
 My beautiful crow 
                     F                           C 
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul 
                       G   Dm   F   C 
Won't let me, let you go 


G                 Dm                       F 
 I never really thanked you for all of the light 
                     C 
You brought into my mother's eyes 
        G 
So many others tried 
                       Dm 
Her sadness since the day you left 
                 F 
She will not get out of bed 
                    C                              G 
She stares out the window, smokes a black pack of JPS 


G               Dm                         F 
  I was out on Saint Paul's when I heard about your fall 
              C                              G 
Walking with Caroline, she bums smokes from time to time 
                Dm 
I walked home alone that night 
                          F 
I could feel you when I closed my eyes 
               C                                             G          Dm    F  C 
I looked up into the night and watched black feathers fall from the sky 

G                     Dm                         F 
 I think of you much more than I'm allowed to admit 
         C         G 
But I do, I still do 

              Dm 
My beautiful crow 
                     F                           C 
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul 
                       G   Dm   F   C 
Won't let me, let you go 


G                  Dm 
  I have tried to push you down 
                 F 
I have tried to cut you out 
                      C 
You're rattling your cage 
                 G 
I'm rattling my cage 
                  Dm 
I have tried to drown you out 
                    F 
Drink till I don't hear the sound 
                      C 
The song's still the same 
                      G 
The song's still the same 

              Dm 
My beautiful crow 
                     F                           C 
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul 
                       G   Dm   F   C 
Won't let me, let you go 

Final G  Dm  F  C
