Chords for Golden Eyes - Mercedes Lackey

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
[Bm] _ A shadow in the [E] [A] bright [D] bazaar, a glimpse of eyes [Bm] where none [F#m] should shine.
_ [Bm] A glimpse of eyes [E] translucent [G] gold and slitted against [Bm] the sun.
_ _ _ [G] This the clue [Bm] and this the sign [F#m] that sets him on [Bm] his [A] quarry's line.
[G] But she [A] has seen [E] him [A] in a dream and [Bm] [A] now she's on the [Bm]
run.
_ Faster _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ than [E] a thought [A] she [D] flees and seeks the _ [Bm] jungle's [F#m] sheltering trees.
[Bm] But he is [A] steady [E] on her [A] track [G] and half a breath [Bm] behind. _
_ [G] She tastes [Bm] his scent upon the [F#m] breeze and looking past [Bm] her [A] shoulder sees
[Em] he [A] treads upon [E] her [A] shadow, [Bm] she [A] fears the [Bm] hunter's mind.
_ So _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] now she [E] summons [A] all her wit [D] and every trick [Bm] she [F#m] knows to hide.
[D] _ To make him lose [E] the twisting [A] track, [G] to throw him off [Bm] her trail. _
_ [G] In woman [Bm] form in leopard [A] hide, [F#m] folding, _ [Bm] leaping [A] side to side.
[Em] She doubles [A] [E] back along [A] her track [Bm] and [A] sees her [Bm] efforts fail. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
He stands before [E] her [A] dark and grim, _
[D] her terror now [Bm] she can't [F#m] suppress.
[Bm] He [D] blocks the only [E] pathway out [A] [G] and will not [Bm] let her by. _
[G] Her gold flanks [Bm] heaving in [F#m] distress, half a woman [Bm] and half a _ [A]
leopardess.
[G] To [A] either [Bm] side nowhere [A] to hide, [Bm] it's [A] time to fight [Bm] or die.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
What [A] is this to her [D] amaze?
The man has thrown [Bm] his gun away.
And [F#m] quietly [E] draws near her now [A] [G] a smile [Bm] upon his face. _
_ [G] Before she thinks [Bm] to run or [F#m] stay, his body [Bm] blurs like [A] softened clay.
_ [Em] Before [A] her eyes [Bm] to her [A] _ surprise [Bm] a [A] leopard [Bm] in his place. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[Bm] The hunter they have [E] [A] sought in vain [Bm] and [A] now the [Bm] talk of [F#m] the bazaar [Bm] is of the canny [E] leopard [A] pair.
[G] A sight none [Bm] will forget. _
_ [G] Who once [Bm] has seen them near [F#m] or far in sunlight [Bm] or where [A] shadows are.
[Em] As side [A] by side [Bm] they hunt [A] and hide. _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] No [A] one has caught [Bm] them yet. _
