about

A favorite with our audiences. David Rea was living in the vicinity at the time we recorded this and he was kind enough to add his guitar to the track.

lyrics

The Crow By Steve Nebel copyright 1996 BMI Musk Ox Music

Intro: Fm, Bb, Eb
Fm Bb
I’ve seen crows flock together
Cm Ab
I’ve seen crows hunt alone
Eb Cm Ab Fm
I’ve seen crows in pairs talking to each other in the trees
Bb Eb
I’ve seen crows about half way stoned

Some say the crow is cruel and dirty
Some observe that he is free
I’ve heard cacophony of crows hold their convention in the trees
Sometimes the crow reminds me of me

So give me wings that I might fly
Give me sharp eyes with which to see
Give me the wits to go about plotting my survival
But most of all - keep me free

Chorus:
Ab Bb
So I salute the wily raven
G Cm
As he holds court on a windswept tree
Fm Bb Cm Ab
Most of all I salute the mother we call nature
Bb Eb
And I pray that she have mercy on me

Solo for chorus Chords

You can shoot crows with your pistol
You can kill them by the score
Old crow’s a survivor no matter what you do
He’ll keep coming back for more

When all of us have left this planet
All our survivors in their grave
They’ll hear the tale of our demise from the beak of some old raven
Who’ll say we got just what we gave

Chorus X 2 and out
