AmGm
Listen: the sad story 'bout a deer, and a man!
EmA romantic scene, from a lullaby,
In the clearing green, where his eyes met mine.
Dm
I was froze in motion, oh his bow was raised,
Then the fleeting notion, that my life he?d save.
[Oh] But I saw it coming, flying through the air,
Feathered backside humming. Missed me, hit me where?
Where it will only hurt me, not a mortal wound.
Leave me lying dirty, someone would find me soon.
Am
I have never, felt like this before.
Gm
Felt my body sinking, to the grassy floor.
Am
No I have never, known a love like this,
Gm
Felt the flaming arrows, of the hunter's kiss.
DmAm
My life is not mine, like a dog or a wife.
DmAm
He has taken his time, he has taken my life.
I could see the steaming, of his cloudy breath,
No, I was not dreaming, I was next to death.
As I lay there twitching, then my legs he tied.
There was nothing missing, on the day I died.
I had never been like this before.
Felt my body sinking, to the grassy floor.
No I had never, known a love like this.
Felt the flaming arrows of the hunter's kiss,
[Same chords, sing higher alt. melody]
No I have never felt like this before.
Never felt my body sinking to the earth?s grassy floor.
No I have never known a love like this.
Never felt the flaming arrows of the lonely hunter's kiss.
