Hunter’s lullaby

Intro: G     C     G


      C        F      C
Your father's gone a-hunting
      C           F         C
He's deep in the forest so wild
        G
And he cannot take his wife with him
    F                C
He cannot take his child


      C        F      C
Your father's gone a-hunting
             C        F         C
Through the quicksand and the clay
       G
And a woman cannot follow him
    F                   C
Although she knows the way


      G               Am
Your father's gone a-hunting
             F               G
Through the silver and the glass
      C      Em      Am
Where only greed can enter
      F                    C     G
But spirit, spirit cannot pass


      C        F      C
Your father's gone a-hunting
         C           F     C
For the beast he'll never bind
        G
And he leaves a baby sleeping
          F            C
And his blessings all behind


      C        F      C
Your father's gone a-hunting
          C        F      C
And he's lost his lucky charm
          G
And he's lost the guardian heart
                F               C
That keeps the hunter from the harm


      G               Am
Your father's gone a-hunting
   F                    G
He asked me to say goodbye
        C         Em      Am
And he warned me not to stop him
   F                          C     G     C
I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try
