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?”

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 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.
