[Verse 1]
C                       F               Am
Listen, my bucks and my does, lend your ears,
     C                         G
I'll tell you a tale that will quiet your fears.
C                         F           Am
There was a buck who once flew in the sky
    C                       G           C
And fought fifty falcons in wars way up high.
C                      F             Am
And when he landed, he rolled up his sleeves,
     C                               G
Then killed all the wolves just like swatting at fleas.
C                           F              Am
From his fell deeds all the birds that are dead
C                      G           C
Help him sleep easy on his feather bed.

[Chorus]
C               F            C
Whose shadow is crossing the moon?
C                  Am     G
Picket Packslayer, Picket Packslayer!
C                F         C
Who is coming to rescue us soon?
C                  Am     G
Picket Packslayer, Picket Packslayer!
Am     G   C
Picket Packslayer!

[Verse 2]
C                       F             Am
Listen, my bucks and my does, hear me well
C                           G
When you're afraid here's a story to tell.
C                         F               Am
Of Picket Packslayer, who stands twice as tall
       C                        G        C
As the ten tallest rabbits that you ever saw.
C                           F      Am
As for his food, he's never tasted defeat,
     C                     G
Each meal in his warren is served with wolf meat.
C                            F           Am
His eyes are gentle, and his heart is so true,
C                           G             C
But if you fight him, he'll cleave you in two.

[Chorus]
C               F            C
Whose shadow is crossing the moon?
C                  Am     G
Picket Packslayer, Picket Packslayer!
C                F         C
Who is coming to rescue us soon?
C                  Am     G
Picket Packslayer, Picket Packslayer!
Am     G   C
Picket Packslayer!

[Bridge]
   C                            F             Am
So friend, share the story, and go spread the word
C                     G           C
Of Picket Packslayer, bane of the birds!

[Chorus]
C               F            C
Whose shadow is crossing the moon?
C                  Am     G
Picket Packslayer, Picket Packslayer!
C                F         C
Who is coming to rescue us soon?
C                  Am     G
Picket Packslayer, Picket Packslayer!
Am     G   C
Picket Packslayer!
