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