INTRO: Em

Am               Em
    We were unprepared  

Am                             Em
    By rights we should have been aware

Bm                         C   G
    With bow and flint and arrow

Bm                            D       C
    There were three deer outside the window


Em


Am                                Em
    My father's father would have known

Am                            Em
    How to pull that wire and steady the bow

Bm                         C         G
    Send that arrow into her beating heart

Bm                       D       C
    How to cut her and use every part


Em


Am                               Em
    We've got food for weeks and weeks

Am                                       Em
    And all that blood would find its way to the carpet

Bm                       C              G
    Sitting there I couldn't shake that guilt

Bm                     D           C
    As the deer walked free up the hill

Em
