INTRO: Em

Em
  We were unprepared

Em
  By rights we should have been aware

G
  With bow and flint and arrow

C
  There were three deer outside the window


Em


Em
  My father’s father would have known

Em
  How to pull that wire and steady the bow

G
  Send that arrow into her beating heart

C
  How to cut her and use every part


Em


Em
  We’ve got food for weeks and weeks

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

G
  Sitting there I couldn’t shake that guilt

C
  As the deer walked free up the hill

Em
