Lust he follows virtue close
Ab Cm
Through the steaming woodlands

His darkened blood through bulging veins

Aah, aah

Ab Cm
Down the leafy pathway

Aah, ah, aah, ah
Bb Cm
La-la-la-la-la-la
Bb Cm Bb Cm
The dim light she comes peering through the forest pines
Bb Cm Bb Cm
And she knows by the sound of the baying, by the baying of the hounds
Bb Cm
Diana Diana kick your feet up
Bb Cm
Lust bears his teeth and whines
Bb Cm
For he's picked up the scent of virtue
Bb Cm/G Bb/F Eb Bb
And he knows the panic signs..............................
