[Fm] [C] There is a light [Fm] in the forest, there's [Eb] a face [Ab] in the tree.
I'll pull [C] you out [E] of [Db] the chorus, [Fm] and the [Db] first [C] one's [F] always free.
[C] You can [Db] never [Eb] go [Fm] hunting [Eb] with just [Db] a [Eb] flintlock and a [Fm] howl.
You [C] won't go home [Fm] with a bunting if [Db] you blow [C] a [Fm] hundred rounds.
[F] It takes much [C] more than wild [Fm] courage, or [Eb] you'll hit the tattered [Ab] clouds.
You [C] must have just the [Fm] right bullets, and [Db] the first [C] one's [F] always free.
[C] You must [Db] be careful [Eb] in the [Fm] forest, [Db] broken [Eb] glass and [Fm] rusty nails.
[Ab] If you're [C] to bring back [Fm] something for us, [Db] a [C]
bullet's [F] safe.

[Em] [C]
[F] [G] Why [Db] be a [C] fool when [Fm] you can chase away [Eb] your blind and your [Db] gloom?
[Ab]
I [C] have blessed [Am] each one of [F] these [Fm] bullets, and [Db] they [C] shine just like a [F] spoon.
[Fm] To [Db] have sixty [Eb] silver [Fm] wishes [Db] is a [Eb] small price [Fm] to pay.
[G] They'll [Bb] be [Am] your private [C] little fishes, [Db]
and they'll never [C] swim [Fm] away.
I just want [C] you to be [Fm] happy, that's [Eb] my only little [Ab] wish.
I'll [C] fix your wagon and your [Fm] busk, and [Db] the [Ab] spoon will [C] have [F] its dish.
[C] [Db] And I [Eb] shudder at the [Fm] thought of [Db] your poor empty [Eb]
[Fm] hunter's pouch.
So [C] I'll keep the wind from [Fm] your barrel, and the glass [Db] stoves [Cm] of your [F] house.
