[Verse 1]
N.C.
My hunter's heart may not be merciless
N.C.
But on this day of freezing snow
N.C.
It's as cold as the heart of the ice princess
N.C.
Who didn't want to know
Bm A
I take my orders, ask few questions
F#m Bm
It's no real life for a decent man
Bm A
Few clear-cut lines or regulations
F#m Bm
Low on prospects and future plans
[Verse 2]
Bm A
If you should hearken to the devil's bidding
F#m Bm
Perchance you'll bring me work to do
Bm A
It may not be my heart's true calling
F#m Bm
But I will surely come for you
[Chorus]
G D
To you who live by rape and plunder
G F#
I'll shoot or hang with scant remorse
Bm A
My Old Reliable, the avenging thunder
F#m Bm
Else my rope and faithful horse
[Instrumental]
Bm A F#m Bm
Bm A F#m Bm
Bm
[Verse 3]
Bm A
Your late companion in haste repented
F#m Bm
I had him take a ride with me
Bm A
Through this poor country he had so tormented
F#m Bm
Until we came to the highest tree
[Chorus]
G D
He did reveal in his confession
G F#
That you were making for the train
Bm A
This bitter snow will soon be melting
F#m Bm
And nothing sweeter than the rain
[Outro]
Bm A F#m Bm
