We were unprepared

Am Em

By rights we should have been aware

With bow and flint and arrow

Bm D C

There were three deer outside the window

Am Em

My father’s father would have known

Am Em

How to pull that wire and steady the bow

Bm C G

Send that arrow into her beating heart

Bm D C

How to cut her and use every part

Am Em

We’ve got food for weeks and weeks

Am Em

And all that blood would find its way to the carpet

Bm C G

Sitting there I couldn’t shake that guilt

Bm D C

As the deer walked free up the hill
