Album: Your Funeral, My Trial
-----------------------------------

F              Am
I am a crooked man
         F                Am
And I've walked a crooked mile
Em                   G
Night, the shameless widow
           Am      G-Em-Dm
Doffed her weeds, in a pile
    Em    F   G
The stars all winked at me
     Em    F   G
They shamed a child
                 F    G
Your funeral, my trial 

One thousand Marys lured me
Into gulleys damp with clover
Bird with crooked wing cast
Its wicked shadow over
A bauble moon did mock
And trinket stars did smile
Your funeral, my trial 

Here I am, little lamb...
Let all the bells in whoredom ring
All the crooked bitches that she was
Mongers of pain
Saw the moon
Become a fang
Your funeral, my trial
