Tried another one without capo.

Dm Dmmaj7
Pennies from heaven, don't make me laugh
Dm7 Dm6
Here all you'll get is the pattering rain
Bb F C
Or yon two crows up over the hill looking for winterkill
Dm Dmmaj7
Always at your boots, the mud behind the byre
Dm7 Dm6 Bb
With its clammy hold, would mock you up a grave
F C
Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold
F Bb
And all you'll bring to this is muscle and grit
F Bb
Persistence, that's just about it
F Bb
What made you think there'd be a living in sheep?
F Bb F Bb
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep
Dm Dmmaj7
Duck under the eaves of the bothy
Dm7 Dm6
To sit here, caged by rain
Bb F C
Somewhere to go conjure a next move when I have to think again
Dm Dmmaj7
The dog lifts his gaze to plead
Dm7 Dm6
Believes the wizard has a magic stick
Bb F C
Leans his weight into my tweed I give an unholy hand to lick
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mark_knopfler/yon_two_crows_crd_ver_2.html ]
F Bb
I take a swig of sheep dip from my flask
F Bb
And once again I ask
F Bb
What made you think there'd be a living in sheep?
F Bb F Bb
Eat, work, eat, work and sleep

Dm Dmmaj7
They were at this game two hundred years ago
Dm7 Dm6
Had thirty ways of dying young poor souls
Bb F C
Laid to rest in their soggy rows rain on their holy books
Dm Dmmaj7
Blood and whisky on the tongue
Dm7 Dm6
And no-one watching over anyone
Bb F C
No-one left but your stubborn one and the crows and rooks
F Bb F Bb
Ah, the dying young - well I'm not done
F Bb
You watch me and I'll watch thee
F Bb
I can still work for two men and drink for three
F Bb
And I raise my flask to the clearing skies
F Bb
To you, sweepers you carrion spies
F Bb
To scavenge and survive
F Bb
If you can do it so can I
