[F] [A] I'm going to get much higher [F] and higher
[A] I'm going to be confirmed [F] of my pain
[A] Like a crystal from fatal [F] desire
[A] They always gon' whisper [F] [A] My name
Said [Am] I, take all evil
[A] Prophet still, this bird or [Am] devil
Will attempt [A] to set or will attempt to stop me here [F] ashore
[A] Yes or less, let all undaunted
On this [F] desert land [Am] enchant me
On this home my horror haunt

And the Raven, never [Am] blitting
Still [A] is sitting, still is [C] sitting
On the [A] pallid bust of pallet
Just above my chamber [Dm] door
[A] And his eyes have all the seeming
Of a demon [Am] that is dreaming
And the lamplight over him [C] streaming
Throws [A] his shadow on the floor
And [C] my soul from out that [A] shadow
That lies floating on the [F] floor
[A] Shall be lifted [F] [A] nevermore
