From the album Last Days of Wonder [INTRO] Dm [VERSE 1]
     Dm                        Gm
Last fall I hunted white-tail deer

                     A  G/A F/A E/A
my dog and gun with me

   F                    C
I wandered to a shady grove

      Bb    C         F
where ivy grew dark green

      Bb    C         Dm
where ivy grew dark green
[VERSE 2]
   Dm                     Gm
I raised my gun so carefully

                     A  G/A F/A E/A
and fired into the trees

      F                       C
then saw it was my true love fell

       Bb      C        F
in a dress of darkest green

    Bb      C        Dm
a dress of darkest green
[VERSE 3]
     Dm                      Gm
Her eyes reflected back the moon

                             A  G/A F/A E/A
as I carried her back to my car

     F                      C
but as I crossed the empty road

       Bb       C      F
was a dead deer in my arms

   Bb       C      Dm
a dead deer in my arms
[VERSE 4]
      Dm                     Gm
Next night I rowed upon the waves

                    A  G/A F/A E/A
to catch a leaping fish

     F                       C
but on the hook my lover's heart

   Bb          C     F
I pulled from briny depths

   Bb           C    Dm
I pulled from briny depths
[VERSE 5]
Dm                        Gm
As I lay her cold corpse down

                     A  G/A F/A E/A
in the bottom of my boat

F                    C
   it was a jumping fish

       Bb     C        F
caught in my nets and rope

       Bb     C        Dm
caught in my nets and rope
[VERSE 6]
       Dm                   Gm
Third night I spied a wild boar

                             A  G/A F/A E/A
charging madly through the trees

 F                          C
but I raised not my gun to her

      Bb      C       F
just let her come to me

      Bb      C     Dm
just let her run to me
[VERSE 7]
    Dm                  Gm
And as I fell in mossy ferns

                             A  G/A F/A E/A
as her teeth grabbed hold of me

    F                       C
it was the lips of my true love

      Bb        C         F
that kissed me dark and green

 Bb        C         Dm
kissed me dark and green
