Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

DR. WATSON, I PRESUME

E minorEm
I sat in a motel room with the doctor
E minorEm
Just before we were supposed to sing
E minorEm
He said regarding this guardian wing
E minorEm
This black and clipped misshapen thing
D MajorD
Hobbling on from claw to ring
D MajorD
Hung upside down and cawing
E minorEm
Pecking at carrion of the fallen
A minorAm
Battalion
D MajorD
Thawing
......C
On frozen mooring

Blackbird in a crust no more
They fell down 4 and 20
Bloodstained the land of want and plenty
Now raven standing at his shoulder
Stared with eyes of molten solder

G+G
Dripping on a lacquer box
G+G
Introducing keys to locks
C majorC
Seven talents there where hidden
D MajorD
Mysterious and some forbidden

G+G
Take the honey from the comb
G+G
Ravel thread around the loom
G+G
Dig the dirt up from the tomb
G+G
Doctor ...Watson, I presume

One will follow
Two unknown sorrow
Three for laughter
Four ever after
Five-foot flood when the waters hit
Six feet deep, the eternal pit

Seven prayers and seven pleas
To eight imagined deities
Cat o' nine tails
Cat of nine lives
Brides turned into old wives tales
Your complexion colours then it pales
And into the sunset it sails

Soon these secrets will be scattered
Heaven knows what lies inside
It took a moment to discover
A augmentedA lifetime to decide

Take the honey from the comb
Ravel thread around the loom
Dig the dirt up from the tomb
Dr. Watson, I presume

You can also play with a capo (7th fret I believe) as in
