The Dear Hunter
"He Said He Had a Story"
There was a Am/Esilver circle sign, and she was standing at the door
we pressed our way right through the crowd, or pace was quickened to her floor,
There was a sE/Bingle feigning light, and there was silk all on the walls,
She had a lC/Got of love to give, I was preEpared to take it all
"And what did she do next?"
Am/EShe had disrobed, and she was waiting on the floor.
She asked me what it was I want, I thought that I wanted it all.
"What did you say?"
E/BI said "Stand up and move your body to the bed."
She quickly Cstood, and slowly turned, and
here's exEactly what she said:
F"Please be soft and D/F#sweet to me, this Glife has not been E/G#good
   E/A     E/B      E/A      Am      G       F  E(open)      Dm  C(open)
you   see   its    hard  with such  a        his___tory   
    F  E(open)      F  E(open)        F  E(open)
bu___ried     in   mi_________se___ry."
"And what did you do next?"
Am/EI broke a smile reminding that I paid her well.
Her lips returned, and then I felt her hands unbuckling my belt.
"So was it good?"
E/BIt felt like heaven, but I'm sure she was in hell-
I made it Cclear I'd get my money's worth out Eof the goods she sells.

The Dear Hunter

"He Said He Had a Story"

Am/E

There was a silver circle sign, and she was standing at the door

we pressed our way right through the crowd, or pace was quickened to her floor,

E/B

There was a single feigning light, and there was silk all on the walls,

C/G E

She had a lot of love to give, I was prepared to take it all

"And what did she do next?"

Am/E

She had disrobed, and she was waiting on the floor.

She asked me what it was I want, I thought that I wanted it all.

"What did you say?"

E/B

I said "Stand up and move your body to the bed."

She quickly stood, and slowly turned, and

here's exactly what she said:

F D/F# G E/G#

"Please be soft and sweet to me, this life has not been good

E/A E/B E/A Am G F E Dm C

(open) (open)

you see its hard with such a his___tory

F E F E F E

(open) (open) (open)

bu___ried in mi_________se___ry."

"And what did you do next?"

Am/E

I broke a smile reminding that I paid her well.

Her lips returned, and then I felt her hands unbuckling my belt.

"So was it good?"

E/B

It felt like heaven, but I'm sure she was in hell-

C E

I made it clear I'd get my money's worth out of the goods she sells.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

F E/G# Am F

Break and bind yourself to me, deliver what you've sold

Dm E/G# Am
