Within [F] the park [C] and out upon the [Am] sea _ [Dm]
Crazy [C] man Michael [Dm] was walking
_ _ He met with [F] a raven _ [C]
eyes black [Am] as coal [Dm] And shortly [Am] they [Dm] parted for talking
_ _ [A] Your future, your future _ [Dm] I would tell to you _
[A] Your future [Em] you [A] often [C]
have asked me _ Your [Dm] true love will [C] die by your [D] own right [Am] hand _
[Dm] Crazy man [C] Michael [Dm] Wilker said be _ _ _ Michael he [F] ran and ran and [C] _ ran
He [Am] raked _ [Dm] and beat at the [Am] foe winds with [Dm] his fists o'er _
He laughed and [F] he cried [C] he shouted and he [Am] swore [Dm] For his mad [C] mind that trapped him [Dm] with his soul
_ You [Am] speak with an evil [Dm] you speak with a hate [A] You speak for the devil [C]
that haunts me _
[Dm] For is she not [C] the fairest [Dm] in all the [Am] broad land [Dm] Your sorcerous [C] words are [D] to taunt [G] me

He took [F] out his dagger _
[C] of fire and [Am] hot steel _ [Dm] And struck down [Am] the raven through [Dm] the hollow toe
[Am] _
[Dm] The bird [F] fluttered long and [C] the sky it did [Am] spin And [Dm] the cold [C] earth did wonder and [Dm] _ startle _ _
[Am] Oh where is the raven _ [Dm] that I struck [C] [Dm] down there [Am] That here did lie on the ground though
[C] Why [Dm] ye see [C] that my true love [Dm] with a wound [Am] so red [Dm] Where her lover's [C] heart it [Dm] did pound oh _ _
_ Crazy [F] man Michael [C] he wanders [Am] and gnaws [Dm] And talks to [C] the night and [Dm] the day oh
But his eyes [F] they are sane and [C] his speech it is [Am] known [Dm] And he longs to be [C] far _
[Dm] away
_ _ _ [Am] _
Michael he whistles [Dm] the simplest [C] of [Dm] tunes _ [Am] And asks the wild wolves [C] their pardon
For his [Dm] true love [C] is flown into [Dm] every [Am] flower realm And [Dm] he must [C] be keeper of [Dm] the garden _ _ _ _
