The Raven
View chords used in this chart
Am
The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
D Am
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
G E
And so I turned inside once more
To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke that one word
that I shall hear forever more
Bridge: F G# A# F
Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore
And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore
Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore
