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)               (G7) 
And he cannot take his wife with him 
    (F)                (C) 
He cannot take his child 
 
Your father‘s gone a-hunting 
Through the quicksand and the clay 
And a woman cannot follow him 
Although she knows the way 
 
      (G)               (Am) 
Your father‘s gone a-hunting 
             (F)               (G) 
Through the silver and the glass 
      (C)      (E7)/b    (Am)    /g 
Where only greed can enter 
      (F)                    (C)     (G) 
But spirit, spirit cannot pass 
 
Your father‘s gone a-hunting 
For the beast he‘ll never bind 
And he leaves a baby sleeping 
And his blessings all behind 
 
Your father‘s gone a-hunting 
And he‘s lost his lucky charm 
And he‘s lost the guardian heart 
That keeps the hunter from the harm 
 
Your father‘s gone a-hunting 
He asked me to say goodbye 
And he warned me not to stop him 
I wouldn‘t, I wouldn‘t even try
