A/DAA/DE7
Yeah, when I was only 17,
AA/DAEE7
I could hear the angels whispering
DA
So I droned into the woods and
A/DAEE7
wondered aimlessly about till
DAEE7
I heard my mother shouting through the fog
AA/DAEE7
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
DA
or a wolf to be exact
A/DAEE7
The sound sent shivers down my back
AA/D
but I was drawn into the pack
AEE7A
And before long, they allowed me
A/DAEE7
to join in and sing their song
DA
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
A/DAEE7
we would gladly get our fill,
AA/DAEE7
howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn.
AA/DAEE7
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong.
DA
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
A/DAEE7
And my thoughts, they surely were turned to
AA/DAEE7
instinct and obedience to God.
A A/D E E7 X2
Chorus
DA
You can wear your fur
A/DAE
like the river on fire.
E7DA
But you better be sure
A/DAE
if your makin' God a liar.
E7DA
I'm a rattlesnake, babe,
A/DAE
I'm like fuel on fire.
E7DA
So if you're gonna' get made,
A/DADAEE7
don't be afraid of what you've learned.
EAA/DA/DAE/D
On the day that I turned 23,
AA/DAE
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree.
DA
When suddenly a girl
A/DAE
with skin the color of a pearl,
D
wandered aimlessly,
AE
but she didn't seem to see.
AA/DAE
She was listenin' for the angels just like me.
DA
So I stood and looked about.
A/DAE
I brushed the leaves off of my snout.
DAE
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees.
AA/DAE
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees.
DA
So I took her by the arm
A/DAE
we settled down upon a farm.
D
And raised our children up as
AE
gently as you pleased.
A A/D E E7 X2
DA
And now my fur has turned to skin.
A/DAE
And I've been quickly ushered in
AA/DAE
to a world that I confess I do not know.
AA/DAE
But I still dream of running careless through the snow.
DA
An' through the howlin' winds that blow,
A/DAE
across the ancient distant flow,
AA/DAEE7
it fill our bodies up like water till we know.
A A/D A E E7 2x
Chorus
