 Crazy man Michael was walking.

   B minorBm     D MajorD     A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
Well
Michael he ranted and Michael he raved
B minorBm        F# minorF#m      B minorBm
And he beat at the four winds with his fists-o.
     B minorBm       D MajorD     A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
Well, he laughed and he cried, he shouted and he swore
B minorBm     F# minorF#m        B minorBm
For his mad mind entrapped him with a first-hold.

You speak for the devil that haunts me.

For is she not the fairest in all the broad land?
   B minorBm     A augmentedA      B minorBm
Your sorcerer's words are to taunt me.”

     B minorBm      D MajorD     A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
Well, he took out his dagger of fine and broad steel
B minorBm        A augmentedA         B minorBm
And he struck down the raven through the heart-o.
     B minorBm       D MajorD       A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
Well, the bird fluttered long, and the sky it did spin
B minorBm       A augmentedA       B minorBm
And this cold earth did wander 'round startled.

Oh, where is the raven that I struck down dead
F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
And here did lye on the ground-o?
 B minorBm   F# minorF#m       B minorBm    F# minorF#m
I see my true love with a wound so red
   B minorBm         F# minorF#m  B minorBm
Where her lover's heart  did pound-o.


🎸 Verse 7:
B minorBm    D MajorD      A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
Crazy man Michael, he wanders
I’m told
B minorBm        A augmentedA       B minorBm
And he talks through the night and the day-o
B minorBm      D MajorD      A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
But his eyes they are sane and his speech is plain
B minorBm     F# minorF#m B minorBm
But he longs to be far away-o.


🎸 Verse 8:
F# minorF#m           B minorBm
Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
F# minorF#m              A augmentedA
And he asks of the wild wolves their pardon
B minorBm      F# minorF#m    B minorBm      F# minorF#m
But his true love has flown into every flower grown
B minorBm     F# minorF#m      B minorBm
And he must be keeper of the garden.
