G                                                    C
Someone once asked me what I ‘member bout my Nan and Pap

          D                                           G    
She was a short skinny woman he’s a tall ruddy faced chap

                                            C
He’d let out a scream when he put on aftershave

        G                           D              G
But the thing I ‘member most is the crow my pappy saved

G
Charlie the crow, called out his name

C
In the sun and the pouring rain

D
Charlie the crow he's always the same

C                          D                G
Charlie the crow’s pecking at my toes again

G                                           C
I lived there for a while when I was just a lad

  D                                         G
I had to stay there coz my Mum was feeling bad

                                                 C
They put me in the garden and worked me like a slave

         G                           D              G
But the thing I ‘member most is the crow my pappy saved

G                                 C (picked - bass note, 2nd note, B string)   
When pappy died it hit everybody hard

  D                                        G
I went to see Charlie one last time in the yard

                               C
But he’d been sent off to an aviary

G               D               G
Once in a while I could go and see

                                         C
Of course I miss pappy now he’s in his grave

        G                        D             G
But the thing I miss most is the crow my pappy saved
