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

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