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