The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt
*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
Em D
I live until the call
Am G D/F#
And I plan to be forgotten when I'm gone
G
Yes, I'll be leavin' in the fall
(fall... oh)
|G |D/F# |Em Em*|Em Em* Em Em*|
|Am |G |D/F# |D/F# |
[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
Em D
I live until the call
Am G D/F#
And I plan to be forgotten when I'm gone
G
Yes, I'll be leavin' in the fall
(fall... oh)

[Verse]
G D/F# C
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
G D/F# C
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]
G (C) (B) (A) G
I left my heart to the wild hunt a-comin
Em D
I live until the call
Am G D/F#
And I plan to be forgotten when I'm gone
G
Yes, I'll be leavin' in the fall
(fall... oh... oh!)
