[Verse]

 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


[Verse]

      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

[Verse]

    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


[Verse]

  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
