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
