Intro: Dm 

 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
