Artist: Richard Thompson
[VERSE]
[Dm]Within the [F]fire and [C]out upon the [Am]sea
[Dm]Crazy Man [C]Michael was [Dm]walking
He [Dm]met with a [F]raven with [C]eyes black as [Am]coals
[Dm]And shortly [C]they were a-[Dm]talking
Your [Am]future, your future [Dm]I would tell to you
Your [Am]future you often have [C]asked me
Your [Dm]true love will [C]die by your [Dm]own right [Am]hand
And [Dm]crazy man [C]Michael will [Dm]cursèd be
[VERSE]
[Dm]Michael he [F]ranted and [C]Michael he [Am]raved
And [Dm]beat up the [C]four winds with his [Dm]fists-o
He [Dm]laughed and he [F]cried, he [C]shouted and he [Am]swore
For his [Dm]mad mind had [C]trapped him with a [Dm]kiss-o
You [Am]speak with an evil, you [Dm]speak with a hate
You [Am]speak for the devil that [C]haunts me
For is [Dm]she not the [C]fairest in [Dm]all the broad [Am]land
Your [Dm]sorcerer's [C]words are to [Dm]taunt me
[VERSE]
He [Dm]took out his [F]dagger of [C]fire and of [Am]steel
And [Dm]struck down the [C]raven through the [Dm]heart-o
The [Dm]bird fluttered [F]long and the [C]sky it did [Am]spin
And the [Dm]cold earth did [C]wonder and [Dm]startle
O [Am]where is the raven that [Dm]I struck down dead
And [Am]here did lie on the [C]ground-o
I [Dm]see that my true [C]love with a [Dm]wound so [Am]red
[Dm]Where her lover's [C]heart it did [Dm]pound-o
[VERSE]
[Dm]Crazy Man [F]Michael he [C]wanders and [Am]calls
And [Dm]talks to the [C]night and the [Dm]day-o
But [Dm]his eyes they are [F]sane and his [C]speech it is [Am]plain
And [Dm]he longs to be [C]far a[Dm]way-o
Mic[Am]hael he whistles the [Dm]simplest of tunes
And [Am]asks the wild wolves their [C]pardon
For his [Dm]true love is f[C]lown into [Dm]every flower [Am]grown
And [Dm]he must be [C]keeper of the [Dm]garden
[Dm]Within the [F]fire and [C]out upon the [Am]sea
