THE THREE RAVENS
Early 17th C. English folk song
Key: Em

 -4    6    -6*  7   -8
There were three ra-vens
-7  7  7  -6*
Sat on a tree
 6  -6* 7    -7   -8    8   -8
Down a down, hey down, hey down
 -4   6  -6*   7   6   -6*    7   -7
They were as black as black might be
 7  -7  -8
With a down
-8  -8  -9  8*   -8  -7  7   -6*
The one of them said to his mate
  7   -7 -8 -7  7   -6*   -5*  -4
Where shall we our break-fast take
 7  -7  -8   -7  7   -6* 6
With a down, der-ry, der-ry
-5* 6   -6*   6
Der-ry down, down
