Crazy Man Michael



Bm          D        A           Fm 
Within the fire and out upon the sea 
Bm          A            Bm 
Crazy Man Michael was walking 
Bm              D         A             Fm 
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals 
Bm           A            Bm 
And shortly they were a-talking 


Fm                           Bm 
"Your future, your future, I would tell to you 
Fm                           A 
Your future, you often have asked me 
Bm                   A          Bm         Fm 
Your true love will die by your own right hand 
Bm              A            Bm 
And Crazy Man Michael will cursed be" 


Bm          D        A           Fm 
Michael he ranted and Michael he raved 
Bm                     A             Bm 
And beat at the four winds with his fists-oh 
Bm                  D         A             Fm 
He laughed and he cried, he shouted and he swore 
Bm                      A                Bm 
For his mad mind had trapped him with a kiss-oh 


       Fm                     Bm 
"You speak with an evil, you speak with a hate 
     Fm                        A 
You speak for the devil that haunts me 
    Bm               A        Bm             Fm 
For is she not the fairest in all the broad land? 
        Bm        A            Bm 
Your sorceror's words are to taunt me" 


Bm                D        A           Fm 
He took out his dagger of fire and of steel 
      Fm                               A 
And struck down the raven through the heart-oh 
Bm                   D           A          Fm 
The bird fluttered long and the sky it did spin 
Fm             A                   Bm 
And the cold earth did wonder and start-oh 


      Fm                         Bm 
"Oh, where is the raven that I struck down dead 
      Fm                      A 
That here'd lie here on the ground-oh? 
  Bm          A                Bm      Fm 
I see but my true love with a wound so red" 
      Bm     A            Bm 
Her lover's heart it did pound-oh 


Bm           D         A           Fm 
Crazy Man Michael, he wanders and walks 

And talks to the night and the day-oh 
Bm                     D            A            Fm 
But his eyes they are sane and his speech it is clear 
        Bm          A   Bm 
And he longs to be far away-oh 


  Fm                      Bm 
Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes 
     Fm                         A 
And asks the wild woods their pardon 
         Bm            A         Bm           Fm 
For his true love is flown into every flower grown 
    Bm          A             Bm 
And he must be keeper of the garden
