The Red Leaf Forest
Bonus Track from the album Honey Moon

G+G D MajorD G+G

 G+G      D MajorD    G+G
Deep in the red leaf forest
  C majorC        G+G
A augmentedA hunter with his crossbow
 C majorC       G+G
Came upon the secret pool
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
Where Diana took her hair down

    G+G    D MajorD    G+G
And he saw her perfect body
 C majorC          G+G
Shining through the thickets
 C majorC        G+G
Such a blinding beauty
   D MajorD       G+G
He could not say a word

   C majorC
And though he stood there speechless
   G+G         C majorC
She felt his eyes upon her
     G+G        C majorC
And she turned him to a white stag
   A augmentedA       D MajorD
And set his dogs upon him

     G+G      D MajorD     G+G
And the dogs didn't know their master
   C majorC         G+G
They tore that stag to pieces
   C majorC          G+G
Then called and called to him
   D MajorD       G+G
Who couldn't say a word

G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G A augmentedA D MajorD C majorC B minorBm A minorAm

  G+G   D MajorD     G+G
But as he lay there bleeding
   C majorC        G+G
He smiled up at the sunset
C majorC         G+G
She who took his life from him
A augmentedA          D MajorD D7D7
Was worth twice the cost

 G+G    D MajorD     G+G
Swirls of deep red leaves
   C majorC        G+G
Fell on his perfect body
     C majorC        G+G
And he smiled up at the trees
   D MajorD        G+G
But could not say a word

 C majorC
When the fig tree blooms
     G+G        C majorC
When the vine is red with berries
 G+G         C majorC
Swallows soon will gather
     A augmentedA       D MajorD  C majorC B minorBm A minorAm
To steal every drop of sugar

     G+G   C majorC    G+G
And the world turns in circles
     C majorC         G+G
In such wheels of burning beauty
   C majorC         G+G
Each morning kills the night
   D MajorD      G+G
Without a single word
   C majorC         G+G
Each morning kills the night
   D MajorD      C majorC  B minorBm A minorAm G+G
