Verse 1:

Am
Well the raven is a wicked bird

    G                  Am
His wings are black as sin

Am
And he floats outside my prison window

G                 Am
Mocking those within

       C                Dm 
And he sings to me real low

     G                 C G C
It's hell to where you go

    Am                          G Am
For you did murder Kate McCannon

Am
When I first met TomMcCannon

      G              Am
I was working in the mines

        Am
Said he had himself a dark haired daughter

     G           Am
With long, green eyes

     C             Dm
When she and I did meet

        G              C G C
She was bathing in the creek

Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler

G
That ain't no lie

Am                                 G Am
So I went a courtin' Kate McCannon

Am                                 G Am
Got me a job and I quit my ramblin'

    C             Dm
And every day I'd save

  G             C G C
A quarter of my pay

Am                         G Am
I could buy a diamond ring

Verse 4:

Am                                  G Am
Lord and one day I come home to find

Am                           G Am
My darlin' angel's not inside

   C              Dm
So I made for the creek

      G             C G C
Where she and I did meet

    Am                              G Am
And found her with some other lover...
