Whole thing plays twice while
A E Bm F#m
I saw a hunter crawling out in the distance, he’s tired, his legs are tied
C#m G F#m
He’s dehydrated, drowning in the well
A E
Gasoline fields in my backyard

They’re cavernous, bridgeless and unbound
C#m G F#m
Their ruinous remains will mark all our graves

And they’ll disappear when morning comes
B#m
Shadows on the landscape block the sun
F#m E Dsus2/Db
cause this isn’t where they wanted to be found
