The Blackest Crow

Intro: D C G Em 



[Verso 1]

   D          C       G 
As time draws near my dearest dear 
                    Em 
When you and I must part 
    D          C           G 
How little you know of the grief and the woe 
                  Em 
In my poor aching heart 
     G              C        G 
Each night I suffer for your sake 
                          Em 
You're the girl I love so dear 
  D         C     G 
I wish that I was going with you 
                    Em 
Or you were staying here 

Em 


[Verso 2]

  D       C          G 
I wish my chest were made a' glass 
                  Em 
Wherein you might behold 
 D      C          G 
Upon my heart your name lies wrote 
                   Em 
In letters made of gold 
   G               C       G 
In letters made of gold my love 
                  Em 
Believe me when I say 
    D       C     G 
You are the one I will adore 
               Em 
Until my dying day 

Em 


[Verso 3]

    D        C         G 
The blackest crow that e'er did flow 
                     Em 
Would surely turn to white 
   D      C     G 
If ever I prove false to you 
                         Em 
Bright day would turn to night 
       G                C         G 
Bright day will turn to night, my love 
                   Em 
The elements would mourn 
   D      C     G 
If ever I prove false to you 
                        Em 
The seas would rage and burn
