            CRAZY MAN MICHAEL

Am         C            G        Em                     
Within the fire and out upon the sea
Am        G           Am
Crazy Man Michael was walking
Am            C          G             Em                       
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals
Am               G      Am
And shortly they fell a talking
Em                              Am
Your future, your future I will tell to you
Em                         G
Your future you often have asked me
Am                  G           Am        Em
Your true love will die by your own right hand
Am            G             Am
And Crazy Man Michael will cursed be


Am         C          G          Em
Michael he ranted and Michael he raved
Am             G               Am
And beat the 4 winds with his fists-o
Am                C        G              Em
He laughed and he cried he shouted and he swore
Am                   G                  Am
For his mad mind had trapped him with a curse-o
Em                            Am
You speak with and evil, you speak with a hate
Em                           G
You speak for the devil that haunts me
Am                 G           Am           Em
For is she not the fairest in all the broad land
Am              G             Am
Your sorcerer's words are to tempt me.


Am              C         G           Em
He took out his dagger of fire and of steel
Am                  G                   Am
And struck down the raven through the heart-o
Am                 C            G      Em
The bird fluttered long and the sky it did spin
Am                 G               Am
And the cold earth did wonder and stare-o
Em                           Am
Oh where is the raven that I struck down dead
Em                        G
That here did lie on the ground-o
Am             G         Am        Em
I see my true love with a wound so red
Am                    G       Am
And her lover's heart it did pound-o


Am        C          G          Em
Crazy Man Michael he wanders of course
Am               G             Am
And talks to the night and the day-o
Am                    C            G             Em
And his eyes they are sane and his speech it is clear
Am     G                Am
And he longs to be far away-o
Em                                  Am
Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
Em                           G
And asks the wild rose their pardon
Am                   G          Am           Em
For his true love is flown into every flower grown
Am             G             Am
And he must be keeper of the garden
