B5 D5 A5 F5 Within the fire and out upon the sea B5 A5 B5 Crazy Man Michael was walking B5 D5 A5 F5 He met with a raven with eyes black as coals B5 A5 B5 And shortly they were a-talking F5 B5 "Your future, your future, I would tell to you F5 A5 Your future, you often have asked me B5 A5 B5 F5 Your true love will die by your own right hand B5 A5 B5 And Crazy Man Michael will cursed be" B5 D5 A5 F5 Michael he ranted and Michael he raved B5 A5 B5 And beat at the four winds with his fists-oh B5 D5 A5 F5 He laughed and he cried, he shouted and he swore B5 A5 B5 For his mad mind had trapped him with a kiss-oh F5 B5 "You speak with an evil, you speak with a hate F5 A5 You speak for the devil that haunts me B5 A5 B5 F5 For is she not the fairest in all the broad land? B5 A5 B5 Your sorceror's words are to taunt me" B5 D5 A5 F5 He took out his dagger of fire and of steel F5 A5 And struck down the raven through the heart-oh B5 D5 A5 F5 The bird fluttered long and the sky it did spin F5 A5 B5 And the cold earth did wonder and start-oh F5 B5 "Oh, where is the raven that I struck down dead F5 A5 That here'd lie here on the ground-oh? B5 A5 B5 F5 I see but my true love with a wound so red" B5 A5 B5 Her lover's heart it did pound-oh B5 D5 A5 F5 Crazy Man Michael, he wanders and walks And talks to the night and the day-oh B5 D5 A5 F5 But his eyes they are sane and his speech it is clear B5 A5 B5 And he longs to be far away-oh F5 B5 Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes F5 A5 And asks the wild woods their pardon B5 A5 B5 F5 For his true love is flown into every flower grown B5 A5 B5 And he must be keeper of the garden Chords by COTH
