Verse 1
G
Poacher
Poacher came in the dead of night
D
G
When the weary moon slipped out of sight
He saw a girl on the edge of the wood
D
G
Sleeping sound and sleeping good
C
D
And a prettier girl he'd never seen
C
Em
D
G
If he were a king, she'd be his queen
C
G
He whispered softly in her ear,
D
G
Oh, tell me, why you lie here?
D
G
C
G
She woke in a start like a frightened deer,
D
And she asked how long were
C
G
you standing there?
C
D
And he saw in her eyes a forest queen,
D
G
C
G
D
she'd be his queen.
C
G
I rode with my prince from
C
G
the nearby town
Em
D
And the hunters came,
C
G
and they shot him down
C
G
He left me to die from my wounded heart,
Am
D
C
G
and for seven days I lay in the dark.
C
D
And he saw in her eyes a pain and a fear,
C
Em
D
G
D
G
a defenseless thing, like a frightened deer.
C
G
Gathered her up in a tattered gown
C
D
C
G
And to his own house he carried her down
C
G
He laid her there in his own bed
C
D
And he washed her skin
C
G
and he soothed her
hair
C
And he begged, my dear,
D
G
C
G
C
G
D
give me wishes three
G
D
G
C
G
C
G
D
Just name any wish and I'll make it true I'd do anything,
C
G
I'd die for you
C
G
She looked up at him with her eyes so green
C
D
If you were king,
C
G
would you make me queen?
C
D
He cried, my dear, did I think aloud?
Am
D
G
But that's one wish I already vowed
For my second wish I would
Em
C
have you home,
G
D
C
G
And if I married you, everything you owe.
C
G
Her gentle hands drew him to her breast,
C
D
C
G
And he heard his voice as he answered yes.
C
D
As he lay at last in her loving arms
D
G
D
G
C
D
would she come to harm
C
G
D
G
On my last wish swear to the
C
G
Lord above,
D
C
G
You will kill the man who killed my love.
C
G
In a tree green eyes like a dream he saw,
Em
D
The beast he'd killed
C
G
seven days before.
C
And he went to the wood
C
D
And the poacher went.

I see you lay down
