G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
Yeah, when I was only se- ven- teen
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
I could hear the angels whis- per- ing
C G Cadd9 G/B D
So I droned into the words and wandered aimlessly about
C G D D/C
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
C G Cadd9 G/B D
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
C G D D/C
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
C G Cadd9 G/B D
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah we would gladly get our fill
C G D D/C
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
C G Cadd9 G/B D
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts, they surely were
C G D D/C
instinct and obedience to God
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C X2

Chorus
C G Cadd9 G/B D
You can wear your fur like the river on fire
C G Cadd9 G/B D
But you better be sure if your makin' God a liar
C G Cadd9 G/B D
I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fu-el on fire
C G
So if you're gonna' get made
Cadd9 G/B G/A G D D/C D/B D/A
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
On the day that I turned twen- ty- three
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
C G Cadd9 G/B D
When suddenly a girl, with skin the color of a pearl
C G D D/C
Wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
She was listenin' for the angels just like me
C G Cadd9 G/B D
So I stood and looked about, I brushed the leaves off of my snout
C G D D/C
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
C G Cadd9 G/B D
So I took her by the arm, we settled down upon a farm
C G D D/C
And raised our children up as gently as you pleased
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C X2
C G Cadd9 G/B D
And now my fur has turned to skin and I've been quickly ushered in
C G D D/C
To a world that I confess I do not know
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
C G Cadd9 G/B D
An' through the howlin' winds that blow, across the ancient distant flow
C G D D/C
It fill our bodies up like water till we know
G Cadd9 G/B D D/C X2
Chorus
End on G
