Tabs
Tuning:Standard
I didn't tab out the full lead guitar, but the intro is basically
repeated throughout the entire song with slight variations.

At the end of every third line play either the interlude above or just:

f#
Her head was warm,
f#
Her skin was soaked.
f# (Interlude with no A5A5)
I called your name 'til the fever broke.
f#
When I awoke
f#
The moon still hung.
f# (Interlude)
The night so black that the darkness hummed
f#
I raised myself.
f#
My legs were weak.
f# (Interlude with no A5A5)
I prayed my mind be good to me.
f#
An awful noise
f#
Filled the air.
f# (Interlude)
I heard a scream in the woods somewhere.
f#
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
E MajorE
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
D MajorD (Interlude)
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
f#
A augmentedA woman's voice!
f#
I quickly ran
f# (Interlude no A5A5)
Into the trees with empty hands.
f#
A augmentedA fox it was,
f#
He shook afraid.
f# (Interlude)
I spoke no words, no sound he made.
He plays this really quick in between verses:

f#
His bone exposed,
f#
His hind was lame.
f# (Interlude with no A5A5)
I raised a stone to end his pain.
f#
What caused the wound?
f#
how large the teeth?
f# (Interlude)
I sure knew eyes were watching me.
f#
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
E MajorE
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
D MajorD It sounds like he plays A5A5 then Ab5Ab5 then does the Interlude
Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo
f#
The creature lunged.
f#
I turned and ran
f#
To save a life I didn't have.
f#
Deer in the chase
f#
There as I flew
f# (Interlude)
Forgot all prayers of joining you.
(Only lead fingerpicking)
I clutched my life
(No chord)
And wished it kept.
(No chord)
My dearest love I'm not done yet
(No chord)
How many years
(No chord)
I know I'll bear
(No chord) (Interlude)
I found something in the woods somewhere.
f#
