*= singe strum [Chorus]
        Dm                 F*
Oh, the wild hunt, oh, the wild hunt

   Am*          C* G*
Is running, is crashing

        Dm*                 F*
But the hill hounds, oh the hill hounds

    Am*           C* G*
Are howling, are rushing

    F                  C             Dm
The wild hunt lights a fire, flings a spark

     F                        C          Dm
That lets the dead find their way in the dark, in the dark

     F                        C          Dm
That lets the dead find their way in the dark
[Verse]
  Dm           F        Am          G
A hundred year storm is brewing downtown

Dm       F           Am        G
Battling bedlam best drunk lukewarm

    C           Dm         F           Am
The jesters are here to perform, to perform

         C             Dm           F                Am
With the green men who all speak in leaves, speak in leaves

   C       G         C       Dm  Am
To any who loves and any who grieves
[Verse]
 Dm      F            Am           G
Over the gold and the red eye from Texas

Dm            F           Am        G
Wolves in the cockpit and conjuring chaos

    C        Dm           F           Am
And crocuses blooming and sheer hocus-pocus

    C            Dm            F            Am
The turquoise at long last are losing their focus

          C  G         C           Dm      Am
And we're mending from all that is broken us
[Pre Chorus]
    F            Am             G
The wild hunt is quick and it's quickening

F             Am             G
Turns all the yard sticks to kindling

         F                      Am
Sets the best loved certainties flickering

          F                Dm   F
Sends the galaxy's masonry tumbling
[Chorus]
        Dm                 F
Oh, the wild hunt, oh, the wild hunt

   Am           C  G
Is running, is crashing

        Dm                  F
But the hill hounds, oh the hill hounds

    Am           C   G
Are howling, are rushing

    F                  C             Dm
The wild hunt lights a fire, flings a spark

     F                        C          Dm
That lets the dead find their way in the dark, in the dark

     F                        C          Dm
That lets the dead find their way in the dark
[Verse]
    Dm         F           Am           G
Oh, jumping at shadows and dancing with starlight

 Dm       F          Am           G
Lumbering sadness is still in the dogfight

C            Dm          F             Am
Reaching and rolling and burned in the daylight

    C         Dm           F             Am
The cosmos is reeling, the hounds have a farm light

       C  G    C            Dm    Am
And my senses alight in the dawn light
[Pre Chorus]
    F            Am             G
The wild hunt is quick and it's quickening

F             Am              G
Turns all the yards sticks to kindling

   F                        Am
Up through the stars without fear

         F                         Dm    F
Past the bear and the bull and the charioteer
[Bridge]
       Dm           F              Am            E
We're asleep at the wheel, and the rapids are nearing

    Dm         F              Am       G
The hairpins approaching, the chasm is looming

    Dm             F            Am             E
The headlights are failing, the daylight is looming

    Dm           F            Am          G
The prophets are railing, the empires are rearing

      Dm           F           Dm           C   G
So be swift and be swifter, be quick and be quicker

   Dm    F      C   Am Dm
Be quick and be quickening
[Outro Chorus]
        Dm                F
For the wild hunt, oh the wild hunt

   Am           C  G
Is running, is crashing

        Dm                  F
But the hill hounds, oh the hill hounds

    Am           C   G
Are howling, are rushing

      F          C             Dm
We're lighting a fire, fling a spark

     F                        C          Dm
That lets the dead find their way in the dark, in the dark

     F                        C          Dm
That lets the dead find their way in the dark, in the dark

     F                        C          Dm
That lets the dead find their way in the dark
