Cohen Leonard — 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
