Chords

[Verse 1]
          B7           Em
There is a light in the forest

          D          G
There's a face in the tree

              B7         Em
I'll pull you out of the chorus

        D                 Em
and the first one's always free

        C      D   Em
You can never go a hunting

            C         D    Em
with just a flintlock and a hound

             B7          Em
You won't go home with a bunting

       Am     B7      Em
if you blow a hundred rounds
[Verse 2]
          B7           Em
It takes much more than wild courage

          D          G
or you'll hit the tattered clouds

              B7         Em
You must have just the right bullet

        D                 Em
and the first one's always free

        C      D   Em
You must be careful in the forest

        C         D    Em
broken glass and rusty nails

             B7          Em
If you're to bring back something for us

       Am     B7      Em
I have bullets for sale

[Verse 3]
          B7           Em
Why be a fool when you can chase away

          D          G
your blind and your gloom

              B7         Em
I have blessed each one of these bullets

        D                 Em
and they shine just like a spoon

        C      D   Em
To have sixty silver wishes

        C         D    Em
is a small price to pay

             B7          Em
They'll be your private little fishes

       Am     B7      Em
and they'll never swim away
[Verse 4]
          B7           Em
I just want you to be happy

          D          G
That's my only little wish

              B7         Em
I'll fix your wagon and your musket

        D                 Em
and the spoon will have his dish

        C      D   Em
And I shudder at the thought

        C         D    Em
of your poor empty hunter's pouch

             B7          Em
So I'll keep the wind from your barrel

       Am     B7      Em
and bless the roof of your house
