Em
He sees the stormy anger of the world
A
And wants no part of it at all
CG
And as the weeping leaves of Autumn curl
FEm
He feels the savage winter call
[Verse 2]
Em
See far below the dust of conflict settles on the hill
A
Where there was no escape before
CG
And as he spreads his wings and soars up to another level
FEm
He brings the icy prophecies of war
[Chorus]
EmEmA
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
CGFEm
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
EmEmA
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
CGFEm
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
[Verse 3]
Em
While children lose their souls and so much more
A
To ragged armies of the field
CG
A vicious fanfare cries appeasing hungry savages
FEm
To trigger that their fate is surely sealed
[Verse 4]
Em
I wonder where that black crow sleeps as day beckons the night
A
Or if he even sleeps at all
CG
I wonder what he thinks of all the human traffic far below
FEm
That's struggled on the road for so, so long
[Chorus]
EmEmA
Tell me black crow, black crow, so lovely you pass above
CGFEm
Well, understanding everything, but you know nothing at all
EmEmA
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
CGFEm
Do you understand the pain ...that we feel down here at all
[Bridge]
G5 x4
(similar to intro w/bass guitar playing melody)
[Chorus instrumental] (x2)
EmEmA
La la la la la la la
CGFEm
La la la la la la la
[Chorus]
EmEmA
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
CGFEm
Will you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
EmEmA
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
CGFEm
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
[Outro]
EmEmA
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
CGFEm
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
