Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
*Notes* - These chords won't sound exactly the same, as the song is
supposed to be in CFCFCF tuning. I don't fancy tuning to that anyways, so
this is for anyone else who wants to try and play it in standard.
- The intro (and where it is repeated) sounds fine without the Em* chords,
but I put them in anyway, just listen to the song to try and get how that
should sound.
- In the chorus ('...the wild hunt a comin'...') there is a run down of
notes. For this part I just let the top half of the G chord ring out, and
pick the bass notes individually. It looks like this:
e|--3-r-i-n-g---------------3------------|
B|--3-r-i-n-g---------------3------------|
G|--0-r-i-n-g---------------0------------|
D|--0-----------------------0------------|
A|--2--------3---2---0------2------------|
E|--3--------------------3---------------|
- The timing for the outro goes very loose so I haven't included bar lines -
just listen to the song for the timing.

[Verse]
(D) G D/F# C
There is a crow moon comin' in where you keep looking out
G Em D
It is the hollow month of March now sweeping in
G D/F# C
Let's watch phenomenons arise out of the darkness now
G D G
Within the light she is my storming heroine
G D/F# C
And old machines abandoned by the ancient races stand
G Em D
I hear them humming down below and hollow earth
G D/F# C
Oh hell, I guess I know in a while I will go under too
G D G
But just for now I let the spring and storm return
[Chorus]
G (C) (B) (A) G
I left my heart to the wild hunt a-comin

I live until the call
Am G D/F#
And I plan to be forgotten when I'm gone

[Verse]
G D/F# C
And I will sleep out in the glade just by the giant tree
G Em D
Just to be closer when my spirit's pulled away
G D/F# C
I left a nervous little boy out on the trail today
G D G
He's just a mortal to the shoutin' cavalcade
[Chorus]
G (C) (B) (A) G
I left my heart to the wild hunt a-comin

Let's open up the windows, have Satan departin' now
G Em D
And we'll be even when the blues fall down like hail

Hell, I don't even care no more about Cadejo now
G D G
If he's a white one or a black one on the trail
[Chorus]
