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 
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
