[Intro]
 Am  G   D/F#   F  E


[Verse 1]
Am                             C 
One flies in to case the joint,  boldly struts around
G                             Dm                                F     F  G
Two fly in to make it Three, laugh awhile and knock each other down 
Am                                    C 
Four flies in with a frowning walk,  gains a laugh from out a squawk
G                Dm                    F        G         Am
But its Five who owns the place, and proves it with a look
          G                Dm                F     G      Am
Stopping Six and Seven in their tracks from smuggl-ing a book


[Chorus 1]
G                                 F
Words within our grasp do we let go?
           C                           Am
Do we fly heavenly with the weight of what we know?
G                                Dm
Words within our grasp do we let go?
       F                  C       E7     E7sus4 E7
Do we fly heavenly with what we know?  


[Chorus 2]
G
 My friend bids me come and see the
Am
Ravens in the Library,
F              G       C
Setting quiet pages free
G
My friend bids me come and see
    Dm 
the Ravens in the Library,
F              G      C         C2  E7
Setting quiet pages free    


[Verse 2]
Am                               C
One for fiction, two for truth Three for bikes and bathing suits
F                G     C   E7
Four for sci-fi fantas-y 
Am                                 C
Five loves art and ancient skulls Six eats periodicals
F               G    C   E7
Seven lives in poetr-y  
Am                                      C
One hangs out on the drama shelves But keeps the monologues to herself
F                   G       C      E
Two and Three are studying jewels 
Am                             C 
Four reads all about the Huns Five won’t share the shiny ones
F              G     C           E 
Six and Seven labor all night through


[Chorus 1]
G                                F
Words within our grasp do we let go?
          C                            Am
Do we fly heavenly with the weight of what we know?
G                            Dm
Words within our grasp do we let go?
       F                  C      E7       E7sus4 E7
Do we fly heavenly with what we know?  


[Verse 3]
Am                         C
Hours of study flying by, Cwords soaked up by beady eyes
G                             Dm                   F       F  G
Long debates into the night, pages flying every where! 
Am                               C 
Seek the language word by word, like the black and clever bird
G                            Dm                                 F
Never let it bring you down, all the things we haven’t figured out


[Chorus 2]
G                                   Am
My friend bids me come and see the Ravens in the Library,
F              G      C
Setting quiet pages free
G
My friend bids me come and see
    Dm
the Ravens in the Library,
F              G      C         C2  E7
Setting quiet pages free    


[Verse 4]
Am                            Cmaj7
Seven reads about the Gods, chuckles to herself
F                G           C   E7
to the rest she never lets on 
Am                               C
Try to catch a glimpse of them, bickering like mortal men
F                G    C
Feathers on the side walk
G                              F 
If you heard a Raven say such horrible words
            C                               Am
such as the ones you may have heard in your day to day
G                             Dm 
would it make you choose your own more carefully
F            G         C      E7 E7sus4 E7
 around the ones you Love? 


[Chorus 2]
G                                   Am
My friend bids me come and see the Ravens in the Library,
F              G      C
Setting quiet pages free
G                                   Dm
My friend bids me come and see the Ravens in the Library,
F              G      C       E7
Setting quiet pages free  


 [Tag]
F              G      C     E7
Setting quiet pages free 
 F              G      C     E7
 Setting quiet pages free 
 F              G     G#   
 Setting quiet pag-es free

 Am  G  D/F#  F E Am


 [Whispered]:
N.C.
Seven little Ravens sitting on the shelves. Who knows what they’re learning? They keep it to themselves.

Am  G  D/F#  F E   Am 
                CAW!

Descant for v.2:
N.C.
one for sorrow, two for joy, three for girls and four for boys,
N.C.
five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never told.
N.C.
one Crow sorrow, two Crows mirth, three a wedding, four a birth,
N.C.
five Crows silver, six Crows gold, seven Ravens curious and bold!


Descant for Chorus1:
N.C.
Words within our dare? Grasp what we know?
N.C.
Nor do we care? Heavenly do we go?


Descant for Chorus2
N.C.
Knitting up the 'raveled sleeve of care, pages flying everywhere
N.C.
Knitting up the sleeve of care, pages flying everywhere
