[E]
One's [Dm] for sorrow, [G] [C] [B] two's for joy
Three's for a [D#] girl and four's [Em] for a boy
[C#m] Five's for silver, six for gold
[D] Seven's for a secret never [F#m] told
[F#]
Devil, devil, [E] I
[C#] defy thee
[A] Devil, devil, [F#] I defy [F#m] thee
[E] Devil, devil, I defy [A] thee
Lord the magpie brings us tidings of [F#] news both fair and [C#] foul
She's more cunning than the [A] raven, more wise than [E] any owl
[G#] And she brings us news of the harvest of the barley we damn corn
And [G#] she knows [G] when we'll go to our graves and how we shall be born
One's for sorrow, two's for joy
Three's for a girl and [F]
four's [E] for a [A] boy
Five's for silver, six for gold
Seven's for a secret [D] never told
Devil, [A] devil, I defy thee
Devil, [A#] devil, I [E] defy thee
Devil, devil, I
[D] defy thee
[C]
She brings us news when from the right, grief when [E] from the left
Of all the [Fm] news that's in the air, [C] we know to trust her best
[Cm] For she [Bm] lays us at our labour [Fm] and she mocks us at our work
And she steals the eggs from out of the nest and she can mob [C] the whole
One's for sorrow, two's [F#] for [F] joy
Three's for a girl and four's for a boy
[E] Five's for [Cm] silver, [F] six for gold
[D] Seven's for a [Dm] secret never told
[E]
Devil, devil, [D] I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Devil, devil, I defy thee
Now the priestess [E] says we're wicked for to worship the devil's bird
Ah, but we respect the old ways and we disregard his word
For we know they rest uneasy as we slumber [G#] in the night
[Fm] And we'll always leave out a little bit of meat for the bird that's black and [G] white
One's for sorrow, two's for [G#] joy
Three's for a girl and [Am]
four's for a [F] boy
Five's for silver, [D#] six for gold
[C] Seven's [A#] for a secret [F] never [D] told
