F#m (finish the bar with just the open E string)  repeat many times

      Bm                F#m
And in the dawning of the day in late september
        Bm            F#m
There came a weeping from outside my chamber door
      Bm                F#m
Weary from fever I rose up looked out the elder
    Bm            F#m
A Raven with a broken wing yet nothing more

F#m
     Bm                 F#m
I turn my head the once and bird become a damsel
        Bm              F#m
With lips of cherry, ivory skin and lustrous hair
       Bm              F#m
Open the doorway wide and smile for her to enter
     Bm            F#m
Not in my lifetime seen a beast so rare

F#m
        Bm             F#m
Sweet thighs of ruin how I loved her, and I loved her
       Bm               F#m
She muttered low and helped me to her infant breasts
     Bm               F#m
Deliverance was long and strong as god's my witness
    Bm               F#m
Babylon burning sorrow known with each caress

E        F#m
  And let the night in
E       F#m
  For you were broken
E      F#m
  Too ill to touch
E       F#m
       Too much

F#m
       Bm              F#m
And with the medal Eguinal had done their duty
      Bm             F#m
The morning glory lying awoke with duly low
       Bm              F#m
I breathed my last the day the warning bell was knelling
         Bm                 F#m
She smoothed her feathers down and flew back out my window

[Chorus]
Solo (E F#m)
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
