Dm
Lust he follows virtue close
A# Dm
Through the steaming woodlands
Dm
His darkened blood through bulging veins
A# Dm
Through the steaming woodlands
Dm .......
Aah, aah
Dm
Virtue knows he follows softly
A# Dm
Through the steaming woodlands
Dm
Travel light the deathly shudder
A# Dm
Down the leafy pathway
Dm ................
Aah, ah, aah, ah
C Dm
La-la-la-la-la-la
C Dm C Dm
The dim light she comes peering through the forest pines
C Dm C Dm
And she knows by the sound of the baying, by the baying of the hounds
C Dm
Diana Diana kick your feet up
C Dm
Lust bears his teeth and whines
C Dm
For he's picked up the scent of virtue
C Dm/A C/G F C
And he knows the panic signs..............................
