Lyrics

Go li ath was a (G)gi ant,

tough and mean.

Da vid was a sweet heart,

squeak y (G)clean.

But it (G)still takes two to (A7)tell

that sto ry.

So I’ll play my part,

and in all my glo ry, I’ll (C)fly

like a (Am)ra ven

in a (Fmaj7)sky

of (Dm7)doves.

I’ll make you (Em7)love

to (Am)hate me.

But, that’s (Dm7)still

love,

it’s (Fmaj7)still

(F)love.

Love is what I want,

love is what I need.

You see, be neath this suit of ar mor,

I

still (C)bleed,

I still (Fm)bleed.

He used to hold me (G)like a flow er,

kiss me oh so slow.

And we’d talk a bout for ev er, but, that was long a go.

And now for ev er’s just a (Cmaj7)place in some one (A7)else

’s sto (A7)ry.

And though my heart still breaks, I’m gon na find my (G)glo ry, and (C)fly

like a (Am)ra ven

in a (Fmaj7)sky

of (Dm7)doves.

I’ll (Fmaj7)make (F)you (Em7)love

to (Am)hate me.

But, that’s al right be cause it’s still love,

You see, be neath this suit of ar mor, (Fmaj7)I

So, I’ll (G)fly just like a (Am7)ra ven

in a (Fmaj7)sky

of (Dm7)doves.

Love is what I want,

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes. The original is in C, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Raven" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
