I took a day off from my workaday job
Am Am Am Am
To go out hunting with my best friend Bob
Am Am Am Am
To get back to nature, get back to the land
Am Am Am Am
And walk in the forest like a primitive man
Amus2,Am,Asus2,Am7
Am Am Am Am
A few hours pardon from life's travail
Am Am Am Am
While we go walk and follow the trail
Am Am Am Am
Found his spoor and cut his track
Am Am Am Am
And we spotted a buck with a six point rack
Em Em G Am
Tracked that fellow through the afternoon
Em Em G Am
Till Bob turned to me and said "turn back soon"
Em Em G Am
I said "Bob we ain't getting no deer today"
Em Em G Am
But that's not why we came anyway
Am Am Am Am
But to get back to nature, get back to the land
Am Am Am Am
And hunt in the forest like a primitive man
C G Am
Oh______ primitive man
Am Am Am Am
Sun going down as we followed the stream
Am Am Am Am
Two men walking in a primitive dream
Am Am Am Am
Rounded the bend and just our luck
Am Am Am Am
Head down drinking there's a six point buck
Em Em G Am
Free'd my rifle and my aim was good
Em Em G Am
Buck look startled and he dropped where he stood

Am Am Am Am
Two men hunting in the afternoon
Am Am Am Am
Gotta dress out the deer, gotta walk out soon
Am Am Am Am
So I drew my knife, and I got to work
Am Am Am Am
Bob rolled up his sleeves and he opened his shirt
Em Em G6 Am
And around his neck was a silken cord
Em Em G6 Am
With a little ring on it that I'd seen before
Am Am Am Am
Said to him "Bob", as I raised my knife
Am Am Am Am
"I believe I gave that ring to my wife"
C G Am
Oh______ primitive man
C G Am
Oh______ primitive man
Em Em G6 Am
Gotta learn to keep still and cover your track
Em Em G6 Am
You got to move forward when you can't turn back
Em Em G6 Am
Drink at night from a quiet stream
Em Em G6 Am
One man running from the ruined dream
Am Am Am Am
And away from the home that he can't see again
Am Am Am Am
Running in the forest with the curse of Cain
Am Am Am Am
To live off nature, live off the land
Am Am Am Am
And flee from the hunters like a primitive man.
