The Handsome Family – Poor Poor Lenore (Guitar)

 Dm           A
Poor, poor Lenore 

                Dm
carried off by crows 

                  A
as she wandered alone 

           Dm        A
where the red oaks grow 

 Dm                       A
Black, black were their beaks 

                Dm
twisted in her hair 

                      A
and black were their wings 

         Dm              A
whipping up through the air 

 F                  C
Fly, fly into the breeze, 

   Dm            A
Lenore and the crows, 

        F              C
to the top of a dead tree 

           Dm    E     A
where the heartbroken go 

               Dm            A                      Dm                 A     Dm    A

 Dm                A
Love, she fell in love 

                         Dm
with the grave digger's son 

                     A
who was thin as the bow 

         Dm      A
of his black violin 

 Dm                 A
Kiss, he kissed so hard 

                        Dm
her mouth filled with blood 

                     A
then he left her to cry 

           Dm       A
where the red oaks die

 F                  C
Fly, fly into the breeze, 

   Dm            A
Lenore and the crows, 

        F              C
to the top of a dead tree 

            Dm   E     A
where the heartbroken go
