[F] I always will [C] remember, t'was a year ago November, [F] I went out to hunt [D] some deer, on a morning bright and clear.
[F] I went and shot [A] the maximum [A#] the game laws [A#m] would allow, [C] two game wardens, seven hunters, [F] and a cow.
I was in no mood to trifle, [Gm] I took [A#] down my trusty rifle, [Cm] and went out to [D] stalk my prey, [C] what a haul I made that day.
