G Am G Am
The dim light she comes peering through the forest pines
G Am G Am
And she knows by the sound of the baying, by the baying of the hounds

G Am
Lust bears his teeth and whines
G Am
For he's picked up the scent of virtue
G Am/E G/D C G
And he knows the panic signs..............................
