Chords

[Verse 1] N.C. My hunter's heart may not be merciless N.C. But on this day of freezing snow N.C. It's as cold as the heart of the ice princess N.C. Who didn't want to know
          Bm              A
I take my orders, ask few questions

                 F#m             Bm
It's no real life   for a decent man

              Bm           A
Few clear-cut lines or regulations

                F#m           Bm
Low on prospects   and future plans
[Verse 2]
              Bm                     A
If you should hearken to the devil's bidding

                      F#m           Bm
Perchance you'll bring   me work to do

           Bm                 A
It may not be my heart's true calling

                 F#m         Bm
But I will surely   come for you
[Chorus]
           G                D
To you who live by rape and plunder

              G                 F#
I'll shoot or hang with scant remorse

         Bm                   A
My Old Reliable, the avenging thunder

            F#m             Bm
Else my rope   and faithful horse
[Instrumental] Bm A F#m Bm Bm A F#m Bm Bm [Verse 3]
             Bm                A
Your late companion in haste repented

               F#m         Bm
I had him take a ride with me

                  Bm                   A
Through this poor country he had so tormented

             F#m               Bm
Until we came   to the highest tree
[Chorus]
         G              D
He did reveal in his confession

              G              F#
That you were making for the train

            Bm              A
This bitter snow will soon be melting

                   F#m         Bm
And nothing sweeter   than the rain
[Outro] Bm A F#m Bm
