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    
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
