[Intro] E  Bm  D  A

[Primeira Parte]

E                    Bm
 I think of you much more than
                  D                        A
I would like to admit that I do before strangers
              E
But there you are
                       Bm
Whistling through the trees again
                    D
Rustling trough the leaves my friend
                A                               E    Bm  D7M  A
A feather on my pillow lets me know that you're near

[Segunda Parte]

E                          Bm
 I remember the night that you arrived
                D
December maybe '95
                   A                               E
Your hair and your breath smelled of John Player Specials
                 Bm
A stranger who I learned to love
                     D
A friend when really no one was
                A
My Daedalus, my wings to fly
                E          Bm  D7M  A
Why'd you leave me behind?

[Refrão]

E             Bm
 My beautiful crow
                    D                           A
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul
                      E  Bm  D7M  A
Won't let me, let you go

[Terceira Parte]

E               Bm                      D
 I never really thanked you for all the light
                    A
You brought into my mother's eyes
              E
So many others tried
                      Bm
Her sadness since the day you left
                 D
She will not get out of bed
                   A                               E  Bm  D7M  A
She stares out the window, smokes a black pack of JPS

[Quarta Parte]

E             Bm                       D
 I was out on St. Paul's when I heard about your fall
             A                               E
Walking with Caroline, she burns smokes from time to time
               Bm
I walked home alone that night
                        D
I could feel you when I closed my eyes
              A                                            E             Bm D7M A
I looked up into the night and watched black feathers fall from the sky

[Pré-Refrão]

E                    Bm                         D
 I think of you much more than I'm allowed to admit
        A         E
But I do, I still do

[Refrão]

             Bm
My beautiful crow
                      D                         A
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul
                      E  Bm  D7M  A
Won't let me, let you go

[Ponte]

E               Bm
I have tried to push you down
                D7M
I have tried to cut you out
                     A
You're rattling your cage
                E
I'm rattling my cage
                Bm
I have tried to drown you out
                   D7M
Drink till I don't hear the sound
                     A
The song's still the same
                     E
The song's still the same

[Refrão]

             Bm                         D
My beautiful crow, and all those black feathers
                   A
Perched deep in my soul
                      E  Bm  D7M  A
Won't let me, let you go

[Final] E  Bm  D7M  A  E
