Lisa Mitchell- The Story of the Raven and the Mushroom Man
Album- Bless This Mess
Lyrics taken from Bless This Mess album booklet

Capo 2nd fret

* = single strum

[Intro]

G
D C G
D C Cm G


[Verse 1]

C
Late the other day when the earth turned away
G
I found a little book, nearly blended in the grey
D C
But for its flower, drawn like a child on the cover!
D
It was the story of the Raven and the Mushroom Man
C Cm G
He was the first real friend he ever had


[Verse 2]

Em D
I never want to be like that serious man
C C
Telling himself be a serious! Always counting those numbers!
D
He’s got a red face and a mushroom head
C Cm G
He spent too long in the rat race, too long in the dead days


[Interlude]

D C Cm G


[Verse 3]

D C Cm
If only a Raven, with a sore wing
G D
Could fall at his feet, with eyes full of mercy
D
The little Mushroom Man might fashion, a little splint out of
C
driftwood
G D
And he might feel a little light shine, he might see his own kindness
C*
And think that “Maybe counting isn’t everything!
Am* D*
Maybe there are more Ravens that need me more than numbers?”


[Interlude]

D C G


[Verse 4]

C
The Mushroom Man loved the Raven so
G D C
And deep inside his heart, grew a thing called hope (hope)
Em
One Sunday night, the raven was weak
G D
He didn’t wake up, how the Mushroom Man weeped!
C
It caused his planet to leak!


[Verse 5]

C
Well, he buried his friend, and he buried his books
G
He looked out to space, and his head he shook
D
As he looked down, gasp escaped!
C
A sapling Rose grew from the Raven’s grave!


[Verse 6]

C
From the Raven’s grave, hope had sprung!
G
And he knew then, how it had been done
D
As he’d tended to the Raven’s wing
C
A Seed of Hope had grown within!
D
And now it grows for all to see,
C G*
and his planet is no longer just he.


[Outro]

C G (x4)
D C Cm G
