The Handsome Family – The Red Leaf Forest (Guitar)

 G           D        G
Deep in the red leaf forest

   C                G
A hunter with his crossbow

 C             G
Came upon the secret pool

       Am             D 
Where Diana took her hair down

        G       D       G
And he saw her perfect body

  C                   G
Shining through the thickets

 C                G
Such a blinding beauty

     D              G
He could not say a word

      C                              
And though he stood there speechless

     G                  C
She felt his eyes upon her

         G                C
And she turned him to a white stag

     Am            D      
And set his dogs upon him

         G            D         G
And the dogs didn't know their master

      C                 G
They tore that stag to pieces

      C                    G
Then called and called to him

     D              G
Who couldn't say a word

    G      D          G
But as he lay there bleeding

     C               G
He smiled up at the sunset

C                 G
She who took his life from him

Am                   D  D7
Was worth twice the cost

  G        D         G
Swirls of deep red leaves

     C               G
Fell on his perfect body

         C                G
And he smiled up at the trees

     D               G
But could not say a word

  C                      
When the fig tree blooms

          G                C
When the vine is red with berries

  G                 C
Swallows soon will gather

          Am            D   C Bm Am
To steal every drop of sugar

         G     C        G
And the world turns in circles

          C                 G
In such wheels of burning beauty

      C                 G
Each morning kills the night

     D            G
Without a single word

      C                 G
Each morning kills the night

     D            C   Bm Am G
Without a single word
