   While destiny prepares to fly,

            You were the raven of Oc - tober,

(...is ours-------------------,  ...is ours!

D                               Bm

    Up in the air, so high a - bove me,

[Verse 5]

D                                 Bm

    Give now the host his claret cup,

                           Bm/F#  G

And watch madeira's fare - well drink,

Note his reaction, acid sharp,

N.C.

  ...Should make the cognoscenti think!
