Hunter Green

Dm Gm Last fall I hunted white-tail deer A G/A F/A E/A my dog and gun with me F C I wandered to a shady grove Bb C F where ivy grew dark green Bb C Dm where ivy grew dark green Dm Gm I raised my gun so carefully A G/A F/A E/A and fired into the trees F C then saw it was my true love fell Bb C F in a dress of darkest green Bb C Dm a dress of darkest green Dm Gm Her eyes reflected back the moon A G/A F/A E/A as I carried her back to my car F C but as I crossed the empty road Bb C F was a dead deer in my arms Bb C Dm a dead deer in my arms Dm Gm Next night I rowed upon the waves A G/A F/A E/A to catch a leaping fish F C but on the hook my lover's heart Bb C F I pulled from briny depths Bb C Dm I pulled from briny depths Dm Gm As I lay her cold corpse down A G/A F/A E/A in the bottom of my boat F C it was a jumping fish Bb C F caught in my nets and rope Bb C Dm caught in my nets and rope Dm Gm Third night I spied a wild boar A G/A F/A E/A charging madly through the trees F C but I raised not my gun to her Bb C F just let her come to me Bb C Dm just let her run to me Dm Gm And as I fell in mossy ferns A G/A F/A E/A as her teeth grabbed hold of me F C it was the lips of my true love Bb C F that kissed me dark and green Bb C Dm kissed me dark and green Dm
