[Verse 1]
Em                                    G
Two old crows sitting up on a limb
D                              Am
One was a her and one was a him
Em                                            G
Sat and grumbled til the sun went down
D                                                          Am
Then they flew to the bushes at the edge of town

It was a murder, came to town

We heard them coming from miles around
Em                                            G

Nestled on a branch where it’s warm and dry

Waiting for the light in the eastern sky
Em                                                          G
They cawed out loud to wake the others up
D                                                          Am
Then they flew to investigate a Timmy’s cup
