Tom: Am
Introdução:
Am
Well the raven is a wicked bird
G Am
His wings are black as sin
Am
And he floats outside my prison window
G Am
Mocking those within
C Dm
And he sings to me real low
G C G C
It's hell to where you go
Am G Am
For you did murder Kate McCannon
Am G Am G Am
Am
When I first met TomMcCannon
G Am
I was working in the mines
Am
Said he had himself a dark haired daughter
G Am
With long, green eyes
C Dm
When she and I did meet
G C G C
She was bathing in the creek
Am
Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler
G
That ain't no lie
Am G Am G Am
Am G Am
So I went a courtin' Kate McCannon
Am G Am
Got me a job and I quit my ramblin'
C Dm
And every day I'd save
G C G C
A quarter of my pay
Am G Am
I could buy a diamond ring
Am G Am
Lord and one day I come home to find
Am G Am
My darlin' angel's not inside
C Dm
So I made for the creek
G C G C
Where she and I did meet
Am G Am
And found her with some other lover...
Am
Am G Am
And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon...
