[Intro] E Bm D A [Verse 1]
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 Dmaj7 A
A feather on my pillow lets me know that you're near
[Verse 2]
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 Dmaj7 A
Why'd you leave me behind?
[Chorus]
E             Bm
 My beautiful crow

                    D                           A
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul

                      E    Bm Dmaj7 A
Won't let me, let you go
[Verse 3]
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 Dmaj7 A
She stares out the window, smokes a black pack of JPS
[Verse 4]
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 Dmaj7 A
I looked up into the night and watched black feathers fall from the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
E                    Bm                         D
 I think of you much more than I'm allowed to admit

        A         E
But I do, I still do
[Chorus]
             Bm
My beautiful crow

                      D                         A
And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul

                      E   Bm Dmaj7 A
Won't let me, let you go
[Bridge]
E               Bm
I have tried to push you down

                Dmaj7
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

                   Dmaj7
Drink till I don't hear the sound

                     A
The song's still the same

                     E
The song's still the same
[Chorus]
             Bm                         D
My beautiful crow, and all those black feathers

                   A
Perched deep in my soul

                      E    Bm Dmaj7 A
Won't let me, let you go
[Outro] E Bm Dmaj7 A E
