The Crow On The Cradle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]This is a very wonderful,
kind of spooky song called
Crow on the
Cradle.
This is
Jackson
Brown and
Graham
[F]Nash.[C][G][Am][Dm]
[Am]
The sheep's in the meadow,
the cow's in the corn
[F]Now is [C]the time for [G]a child to be [Am]born
He'll laugh at the moon
and he'll cry for the [Em]sun
And [F]if it's a [C]boy, he'll [G]carry a [Am]gun
Sang the [Dm]crow on the [Am]cradle
And if it should be that this baby's a girl
Nev[F]er [C]you mind if [G]her hair
doesn't [Am]grow
With rings on her fingers
and bells on her [Em]toes
And [F]a bomber above [C]her,
wherever [G]she goes
[Am]Sang the choru[Dm]s
On the [Am]cradle[F][C]
[G][Am][Em][F]
[C][G][Am][Dm][Em][F][Am]
Your mother and father,
they'll sweat and they'll say
To [F]build you a [C]coffin and [G]dig you a [Am]grave
Hush up, little one, never you [Em]weep
For [F]we've got [C]a toy that
can [G]put you to sleep
[Am]Sang the crow [Dm]on the cradl[Am]e
Bring me my gun and I'll
shoot that bird dead
[F]That's what your [C]mother
and [G]father once [Am]said
But crow on the cradle, what can we [Em]do?
Ah, [F]this is a [C]thing that [G]I'll leave up to [Am]you
Send the [Dm]crow on the [Am]cradle[Em]
[Am]Oh, [F]this is a [C]thing that I'll [G]leave up to you
[Am]Sang the chord[Dm] on the [Am]cradle
Thank you.
[Em]Thank you.
