[ Предположительная тональность: G ] Lisa Mitchell- The Story of the Raven and the Mushroom Man Album- Bless This Mess Lyrics taken from Bless This Mess album booklet Capo 2nd fret * = single strum [Intro] G D C G D C Cm G [Verse 1] C Late the other day when the earth turned away G I found a little book, nearly blended in the grey D C But for its flower, drawn like a child on the cover! D It was the story of the Raven and the Mushroom Man C Cm G He was the first real friend he ever had [Verse 2] Em D I never want to be like that serious man C C Telling himself be a serious! Always counting those numbers! D He's got a red face and a mushroom head C Cm G He spent too long in the rat race, too long in the dead days [Interlude] D C Cm G [Verse 3] D C Cm If only a Raven, with a sore wing G D Could fall at his feet, with eyes full of mercy D The little Mushroom Man might fashion, a little splint out of C driftwood G D And he might feel a little light shine, he might see his own kindness C* And think that "Maybe counting isn't everything! Am* D* Maybe there are more Ravens that need me more than numbers?" [Interlude] D C G [Verse 4] C The Mushroom Man loved the Raven so G D C And deep inside his heart, grew a thing called hope (hope) Em One Sunday night, the raven was weak G D He didn't wake up, how the Mushroom Man weeped! C It caused his planet to leak! [Verse 5] C Well, he buried his friend, and he buried his books G He looked out to space, and his head he shook D As he looked down, gasp escaped! C A sapling Rose grew from the Raven's grave! [Verse 6] C From the Raven's grave, hope had sprung! G And he knew then, how it had been done D As he'd tended to the Raven's wing C A Seed of Hope had grown within! D And now it grows for all to see, C G* and his planet is no longer just he. [Outro] C G (x4) D C Cm G
