E
My {E}new born crow, I'll F#m}watch you grow, tell you {A}what I know, my {E}new born crow
I'll {E}treat you good, do the things a F#m}big crow would, falling {A}short of spewing in your mouth
I'll {E}treat you good
And when your G#m}old enough, I'll throw you {D}out of a tree, meta{F#m}phorically
So you can {A}be like me
So you can {E}fly a{A}way from me, {E}fly a{A}way from me, G#m}fly-
{tacet}oh sorry, I woke you {E}up
Since {E}you're awake, F#m}eat this steak, lets get you on {A}solids as fast as we can
{E}Stay ahead of the other man
And if the G#m}other guy's in you way, then treat him {D}mercilessly
Hang him F#m}from a high tree, unless the {A}other guy's me
Then you'd better {E}fly a{A}way from me, {E}fly a{A}way from me, run and G#m}hide
Oh, stop {A}crying
You're a {E}Crowe, let 'em F#m}know
That if you {A}can't be a nice guy, be the greatest actor {E}in the world
Which you can't {E}be, 'cos the greatest actor is F#m}me
You'd better {A}watch your back son, you'd better {D}turn round and run
And when your {E}thirteen you out of the house, your gone, I'm F#m}over ya
(Shoo bi doo wop do wa)
It's nothing {A}personal son, it's just my triscadeco{B}phobia
And then you'd better {E}fly- E(stop)}oh
{tacet}Mums home
Oh, hi Danielle
Oh, little baby girl just had a nightmare, didn't she?
She's fine now
Sweet dreams
E
