Dm F C Am
Within the fire and out upon the sea
Dm C Dm
Crazy Man Michael was walking
Dm F C Am
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals
Dm C Dm
And shortly they were a-talking
Am Dm
Your future, your future I would tell to you
Am C
Your future you often have asked me
Dm C Dm Am
Your true love will die by your own right hand
Dm C Dm
And crazy man Michael will cursèd be
[Verse]
Dm F C Am
Michael he ranted and Michael he raved
Dm C Dm
And beat up the four winds with his fists-o
Dm F C Am
He laughed and he cried, he shouted and he swore
Dm C Dm
For his mad mind had trapped him with a kiss-o
Am Dm
You speak with an evil, you speak with a hate
Am C
You speak for the devil that haunts me
Dm C Dm Am
For is she not the fairest in all the broad land
Dm C Dm
Your sorcerer's words are to taunt me
[Verse]
Dm F C Am
He took out his dagger of fire and of steel
Dm C Dm
And struck down the raven through the heart-o
Dm F C Am
The bird fluttered long and the sky it did spin
Dm C Dm
And the cold earth did wonder and startle
Am Dm
O where is the raven that I struck down dead
Am C
And here did lie on the ground-o
Dm C Dm Am
I see that my true love with a wound so red
Dm C Dm
Where her lover's heart it did pound-o
[Verse]
Dm F C Am
Crazy Man Michael he wanders and calls
Dm C Dm
And talks to the night and the day-o
Dm F C Am
But his eyes they are sane and his speech it is plain
Dm C Dm
And he longs to be far away-o
Am Dm
Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
Am C
And asks the wild wolves their pardon
Dm C Dm Am
For his true love is flown into every flower grown
Dm C Dm
And he must be keeper of the garden
