Crazy Man Michael Chords

Am         C            G        Em
Within the fire and out upon the sea
Am        G           Am
Crazy Man Michael was walking
Am            C     
He met with a raven 
     G             Em
with eyes black as coals
Am               G      Am
And shortly they fell a talking
Em           
Your future, 
                   Am
your future I will tell to you
Em                         G
Your future you often have asked me
Am                  G   
Your true love will die 
        Am        Em
by your own right hand
Am            G             Am
And Crazy Man Michael will cursed be
 
 
Am         C          G          Em
Michael he ranted and Michael he raved
Am             G               Am
And beat the 4 winds with his fists-o
Am                C     
He laughed and he cried 
   G              Em
he shouted and he swore
Am                   
For his mad mind had 
G                  Am
trapped him with a curse-o
Em                       
You speak with and evil, 
     Am
you speak with a hate
Em                           G
You speak for the devil that haunts me
Am                 G       
For is she not the fairest 
    Am           Em
in all the broad land
Am              G             Am
Your sorcerer's words are to tempt me.
 
 
Am              C         G           Em
He took out his dagger of fire and of steel
Am                  G     
And struck down the raven 
              Am
through the heart-o
Am                 C    
The bird fluttered long 
        G      Em
and the sky it did spin
Am                 G               Am
And the cold earth did wonder and stare-o
Em                    
Oh where is the raven 
       Am
that I struck down dead
Em                        G
That here did lie on the ground-o
Am             G         Am        Em
I see my true love with a wound so red
Am                    G       Am
And her lover's heart it did pound-o
 
 
Am        C          G          Em
Crazy Man Michael he wanders of course
Am               G             Am
And talks to the night and the day-o
Am                    C     
And his eyes they are sane 
       G             Em
and his speech it is clear
Am     G                Am
And he longs to be far away-o
Em                                  Am
Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
Em                           G
And asks the wild rose their pardon
Am                   G     
For his true love is flown 
     Am           Em
into every flower grown
Am             G             Am
And he must be keeper of the garden
