C G G/C G D
Yeah, when I was only 17,
C G/C G D
I could hear the angels whispering
C G
So I droned into the woods and
G/C G D
wondered aimlessly about till
C G G/C G D
I heard my mother shouting through the fog
...and so on... it looks like he throws in some Dsus9s after D too
C G G/C G D
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
C G
or a wolf to be exact
G/C G D
The sound sent shivers down my back
G G/C
but I was drawn into the pack
G D G
And before long, they allowed me
G/C G D
to join in and sing their song
C G
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
G/C G D
we would gladly get our fill,
G G/C G D
howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn.
G G/C G D
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong.
C G
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
G/C G D
And my thoughts, they surely were turned to
G G/C G D
instinct and obedience to God.
G G/C D X2
Chorus
C G
You can wear your fur
G/C G D
like the river on fire.
C G
But you better be sure
G/C G D
if your makin' God a liar.
C G
I'm a rattlesnake, babe,
G/C G D
I'm like fuel on fire.
C G
So if you're gonna' get made,
G/C G C G D G G/C G D
don't be afraid of what you've learned.
C G G/C G D
On the day that I turned 23,
G G/C G D Dsus9 D
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree.
C G
When suddenly a girl
G/C G D
with skin the color of a pearl,
C
wandered aimlessly,
G D
but she didn't seem to see.
G G/C G D
She was listenin' for the angels just like me.
C G
So I stood and looked about.
G/C G D
I brushed the leaves off of my snout.
C G D
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees.
G G/C G D
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees.
C G
So I took her by the arm
G/C G D
we settled down upon a farm.
C
And raised our children up as
G D
gently as you pleased.
G G/C D X2
C G
And now my fur has turned to skin.
G/C G D
And I've been quickly ushered in
G G/C G D
to a world that I confess I do not know.
G G/C G D
But I still dream of running careless through the snow.
C G
An' through the howlin' winds that blow,
G/C G D
across the ancient distant flow,
G G/C G D
it fill our bodies up like water till we know.
G G/C G D X2
