INTRO: Am G C Am G F Am
Woodpecker woman, chip away, whittle
G
Carve my name in a hick'ry fiddle
Am G
Dance all night, dream just a little
C Am
I go like the raven
Down in the meadow, deep in the holler
G
Bullfrog sing to the bug-eyed crawler
Am G
Slide to the rake, hop to the caller
C Am
Reel with the willow waving
CHORUS:
F C G
Shine the Merlin moonbeam eye
F C G
Set my dancing feet to fly
F C G
O'er the dark and Dervish sky
F Am
I go like the raven, yeah
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G F C Am (2x)
A long time ago I had me a fella
G
Three-cocked hat and a coat o' yeller
Am G
Locked me down in a sawdust cellar
C Am
Fed me beans and bacon
Through the doorway he did enter
G
Played him coy, played him tender
Am G
Played him slumber through the winter
C Am
Gone when the birds awakened
CHORUS:
F C G
Shine the Merlin moonbeam eye
F C G
Set my dancing feet to fly
F C G
O'er the dark and Dervish sky
F Am
I go like the raven, yeah
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G F C Am (2x)
Now when they hear my bowstrings tightening
G
Angels gay, devils frightening
Am G
C'mon fire and midnight lightning
C Am
To the garden gancy
Hail the wayward werewolf howling
G
Haints and shades and goblins growling
Am G
Fiends and demon deves a-prowling
C Am
When I break and fancy
CHORUS:
F C G
Shine the Merlin moonbeam eye
F C G
Set my dancing feet to fly
F C G
O'er the dark and Dervish sky
F Am
I go like the raven, yeah
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G F C Am (4x)
Now all you blackbirds, plain or pretty
G
Hear my words for rede or witty
Am G
"Keep the greenwood, shun the city
C Am
And her dandies craven"
