[Verse 1]
Em G/G
When we set out on this journey
Em G/G
There were no doubts in our minds
Em G/G
We set our eyes to the distance
Em G/G
We would find what we would find
Em G/G
We took courage from our numbers
Em G/G
What we sought we did not fear
G D
Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow falling
A D A
The shadow would disappear
Em G/G
But our thoughts kept returning
Em G/G
To something the boy said as we turned to go
G D
He said you'll never see our faces again
A D A
You'll be food for a carrion crow

[Chorus]
G Cmaj7 G
Every step we took today
Cmaj7 G
Our thoughts would always stray
Cmaj7 Bb
From the wind on the moor so wild
C
To the words of the captain's child
Em G6 Gmaj7
Something the boy said
Em G6 Gmaj7
Something the boy said
Em G6 Gmaj7
Something the boy said
Em G6 Gmaj7
Something the boy said

[Verse 2]
Em G/G
In the circles we made with our fires
Em G/G
We talked of the pale afternoon
Em G/G
The clouds were like dark riders
Em G/G
Flying on the face of the moon
Em G/G
We spoke our fears to the captain
Em G/G
And asked what his son could know
G D
For we would never have marched so far
A D A
To be food for a crow

[Pre-Chorus]
G Cmaj7 G
Every step we took today
Cmaj7 G
Our thoughts would always stray
Cmaj7 Bb
From the wind on the moor so wild
C
To the words of the captain's child

[Chorus]
Em G6 Gmaj7
Something the boy said
Em G6 Gmaj7
Something the boy said
Em G6 Gmaj7
Something the boy said
Em G6 Gmaj7
Something the boy said

[Verse 3]
Em G/G
When I awoke this morning
Em G/G
The sun's eye was red as blood
Em G/G
The stench of burning corpses
Em G/G
Faces in the mud
Em G/G
Am I dead or am I living?
Em G/G
I'm too afraid to care, I'm too afraid to know
Em G/G
I'm too afraid to look behind me
Em G/G
At the feast of the crow

[Pre-Chorus]
G Cmaj7
We spoke our fears to the captain
G Cmaj7
And asked what his son could know
G Cmaj7
For we would never have marched so far
Bb C Em G/G Em
To be food food for a crow
G/G Em G/G Em
Food for a crow
G/G Em
Food for a crow

[Chorus]
