Intro
[G] [Dm] [F] [C]
Verse 1
[G] I think of you much m[Dm]more than
I would like to adm[F]admit that I do before str[C]strangers
But there you [G]are
Whispering through the tr[Dm]trees again
Rustling trough the l[F]leaves my friend
A feather on my p[C]pillow lets
me know that you're near[G]near [Dm] [F] [C]
Verse 2
[G] I remember the night that y[Dm]you arrived
December maybe '[F]'95
Your hair and your br[C]breath smelled of John Player Speci[G]Specials
A stranger who I l[Dm]learned to love
A friend when really n[F]no one was
My Daedalus, my w[C]wings to fly
Why'd you leave m[G]me behind?[Dm]behind? [F] [C]
Chorus
[G] My beautiful cr[Dm]crow
And all those black f[F]feathers perched deep in my s[C]soul
Won't let me, let you g[G]go [Dm] [F] [C]
Verse 3
[G] I never really th[Dm]thanked you for all the l[F]light
You brought into my m[C]mother's eyes
So many [G]others tried
Her sadness since the d[Dm]day you left
She will not get [F]out of bed
She stares out the w[C]window, smokes a black pack of J[G]JPS
Verse 4
[G] I was out on S[Dm]Saint Paul's when I heard ab[F]about your fall
Walking with C[C]Caroline, she bums smokes from t[G]time to time
I walked home al[Dm]alone that night
I could feel you when I cl[F]closed my eyes
I looked up int[C]into the night and watched
black feathers fall fr[G]from the sky [Dm] [F] [C]
Pre-Chorus
[G] I think of you much m[Dm]more than I'm allowed to adm[F]admit
But I do,[C]do, I still d[G]do
Chorus
My beautiful c[Dm]crow
And all those black f[F]feathers perched deep in my s[C]soul
Won't let me, let you g[G]go [Dm] [F] [C]
Bridge
[G] I have tried to p[Dm]push you down
I have tried to c[F]cut you out
You're rattling your c[C]cage
I'm rattling my c[G]cage
I have tried to dr[Dm]drown you out
Drink till I don't h[F]hear the sound
The song's still the s[C]same
The song's still the s[G]same
Chorus
My beautiful c[Dm]crow
And all those black f[F]feathers perched deep in my s[C]soul
Won't let me, let you g[G]go [Dm] [F] [C]
