Dm C Am F C

[Verse 1]

Running through the forest on the mossy, dirty ground

Hearing all the choruses of animal sounds

They sold me

To the natives and the gypsies

They told me

That I would not be found

[Verse 2]

Doing all the duties for a man I hardly know

Man, his wife's a beauty with a natural glow

Her flirting

She held my coat so tightly

She cursed me

When I told her no

Oh Joe

Watch it all unfold

You're not alone

But there was something greater running through my veins
