Notes:
Arron's phrasing is hard to keep up with. The chords are over the right words,
but it might be necessary to listen to how he is singing each line.

================================================================================

Verse 1
B minorBm       F# minorF#m
Through mostly vacant streets
D MajorD        E MajorE         B minorBm
A augmentedA baker from the outskirts of his town
      F# minorF#m       D MajorD
Earned his living peddling sweets
       E MajorE         B minorBm
From a ragged cart he dragged around
      F# minorF#m        D MajorD
The clever fox crept close behind
    E MajorE       B minorBm
Kept an ever watchful eye
        F# minorF#m      D MajorD
For a chance to steal a ginger spice cake
   E MajorE      B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD E MajorE
Or a boysenberry pie


Verse 2
B minorBm   F# minorF#m         D MajorD
Looking down was the hungry crow:
     E MajorE          B minorBm
"When the time is right, I'll strike
     F# minorF#m         D MajorD
And condescend to the earth below
       E MajorE       B minorBm
And take whichever treat I'd like"
        F# minorF#m      D MajorD
The moment the baker turned around
      E MajorE        B minorBm
To shoo the fox off from his cart
         F# minorF#m         D MajorD
The crow swooped down and snatched a shortbread cookie
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
And a German chocolate tart

Chorus 1
           E MajorE
Using most unfriendly words
                   D MajorD
That the village children had not yet heard
               E MajorE
The baker shouted threats by canzonette
          A augmentedA
To curse the crafty bird
             E MajorE
"You rotten wooden mixing spoon
             D MajorD
Why, you midnight-winged raccoon
                E MajorE
You better bring those pastries back
               B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD E MajorE  B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD E MajorE
You no-good burned-black macaroon"


Verse 3
B minorBm       F# minorF#m
The fox approached the tree
     D MajorD         E MajorE       B minorBm
Where the bird was perched delighted in his nest
        F# minorF#m          D MajorD
"Brother Crow, don't you remember me?
           E MajorE          B minorBm
It's your old friend Fox with a humble request
       F# minorF#m         D MajorD
If you could share just a modest piece
        E MajorE         B minorBm
Seeing as I distracted that awful man"
         F# minorF#m         D MajorD
This failed to persuade the crow in the least
       E MajorE
So the fox rethought his plan


Verse 4
B minorBm          F# minorF#m         D MajorD
"Then if your lovely song would grace my ears
   E MajorE        B minorBm
Or to even to hear you speak
       F# minorF#m
Would ease my pains and fears!"
  D MajorD             E MajorE      B minorBm
The crow looked down with the candy in his beak
        F# minorF#m       D MajorD
"Your poems of wisdom, my good crow
    E MajorE       B minorBm
What a paradise they bring!"
       F# minorF#m
This flattery pleased the proud bird
D MajorD        E MajorE         A augmentedA
So he opened his mouth and began to sing:


Chorus 2
              E MajorE
"Your subtle acclamation's true
                  D MajorD
Best to give praise where praise is due
              E MajorE
Every rook and jay in the Corvidae's
           A augmentedA
Been ravin' about me too
            E MajorE
They admire me, one and all
             D MajorD
Must be the passion in my caw
                   E MajorE
My slender bill known throughout the escadrille
           B minorBm F# minorF#m
My fierce commanding claw!"


Interlude
B minorBm F# minorF#m B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD E MajorE


Chorus 3
A augmentedA           E MajorE
I got a walnut brownie brain
          D MajorD
And molasses in my veins

Crushed graham cracker crust
  E MajorE               A augmentedA
My powdered sugared funnel cake cocaine
            E MajorE
Let the crescent cookie rise
              D MajorD
These carob-colored almond eyes
               E MajorE
Would rest to see my cashewed princess
            A augmentedA
In the swirling marble sky
          E MajorE
Would rest upon the knee
                 D MajorD
Where all of the visions cease to be
              E MajorE
A augmentedA root-beer float in our banana boat
          A augmentedA
Across the tapioca sea
               E MajorE
When letting all attachments go
           D MajorD
Is the only prayer we know

May it be so
     E MajorE
May it be so

May it be so
  A augmentedA
