THE HUNTER LEONARD COHEN
Intro: G C G
C F C
Your father's gone a-hunting
C F C
He's deep in the forest so wild
G
And he cannot take his wife with him
F C
He cannot take his child
C F C
Your father's gone a-hunting
C F C
Through the quicksand and the clay
G
And a woman cannot follow him
F C
Although she knows the way
G Am
Your father's gone a-hunting
F G
Through the silver and the glass
C Em Am
Where only greed can enter
F C G
But spirit, spirit cannot pass
C F C
Your father's gone a-hunting
C F C
For the beast he'll never bind
G
And he leaves a baby sleeping
F C
And his blessings all behind
C F C
Your father's gone a-hunting
C F C
And he's lost his lucky charm
G
And he's lost the guardian heart

That keeps the hunter from the harm
G Am
Your father's gone a-hunting
F G
He asked me to say goodbye
C Em Am
And he warned me not to stop him
F C G C
I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try
