Chords

From the album Various Positions [Intro] G C Am G [Verse 1]
      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

      C        F      C
Your father's gone a-hunting

         C        F        C
In the quicksand and the clay

       G            G7
And a woman cannot follow him

    F                   C
Although she knows the way
[Chorus]
      G               Am
Your father's gone a-hunting

             F               G
Through the silver and the glass

      C     C/B      Am    G
Where only greed can enter

      F                    C
But spirit, spirit cannot pass

       G           C

[Verse 2]
      C        F      C
Your father's gone a-hunting

         C           F     C
For the beast he'll never bind

         G             G7
And he leaves a baby sleeping

          F              C
And his blessings all behind

      C        F      C
Your father's gone a-hunting

          C        F      C
And he's lost his lucky charm

          G                 G7
And he's lost the guardian heart

                F               C
That keeps the hunter from the harm
[Chorus]
      G               Am
Your father's gone a-hunting

    F                   G
He asked me to say goodbye

        C        C/B     Am      G
And he warned me not to stop him

   F                         C
I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try

       G           C
