[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
