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
