Crazy Man Micheal Fairport Convention
[Am]Within the fir[C]e and out u[G]pon the [Em]sea
[Am]Crazy Man Michae[G]l was wa[Am]lking
[Am]He met with a [C]raven with [G]eyes black as[Em] coals
[Am]And shortly they[G] fell a [Am]talking
[Em]Your future, your future I wil[Am]l tell to you
[Em]Your future you often have asked[G] me
[Am]Your true love will die[G] by your ow[Am]n right h[Em]and
[Am]And Crazy Man Micha[G]el will cursed [Am]be
Michael he ranted and Michael he raved
And beat up the four winds with his fists o
He laughed and he cried, he shouted and he swore
For his mad mind had trapped him with a kiss o
You speak with an evil, you speak with a hate
You speak for the devil that haunts me
For is she not the fairest in all the broad land
Your sorcerer’s words are to taunt me
He took out his dagger of fire and of steel
And struck down the raven through the heart o
The bird fluttered long and the sky it did spin
And the cold earth did wonder and start o
O where is the raven that I struck down dead
And here did lie on the ground o
I see that my true love with a wound so red
Where her lover’s heart it did pound o
Crazy man Michael he wanders and calls
And talks to the night and the day o
But his eyes they are sane and his speech it is fair
And he longs to be far away o
Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
And asks of the wild wolves their pardon
For his true love is flown into every flower grown
And he must be keeper of the garden

Just a couple of changes to the lyrics. I checked out Richard Thompson's website to find them.
Great chord progression! I use this all the time.
