[Verse 1]
A/D A A/D A E E7
Yeah, when I was only 17,
A A/D A E E7
I could hear the angels whispering
D A
So I droned into the woods and
A/D A E E7
wondered aimlessly about till
D A E E7
I heard my mother shouting through the fog
A A/D A E E7
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
D A
or a wolf to be exact
A/D A E E7
The sound sent shivers down my back
A A/D
but I was drawn into the pack
A E E7 A
And before long, they allowed me
A/D A E E7
to join in and sing their song
D A
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
A/D A E E7
we would gladly get our fill,
A A/D A E E7
howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn.
A A/D A E E7
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong.
D A
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
A/D A E E7
And my thoughts, they surely were turned to
A A/D A E E7
instinct and obedience to God.
A A/D E E7 X2
[Chorus]
D A
You can wear your fur
A/D A E
like the river on fire.
E7 D A
But you better be sure
A/D A E
if your makin' God a liar.
E7 D A
I'm a rattlesnake, babe,
A/D A E
I'm like fuel on fire.
E7 D A
So if you're gonna' get made,
A/D A D A E E7
don't be afraid of what you've learned.
E7 A A/D
[Verse 2]
A/D A A/D A E
On the day that I turned 23,
A A/D A E
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree.
D A
When suddenly a girl
A/D A E
with skin the color of a pearl,
D
wandered aimlessly,
A E
but she didn't seem to see.
A A/D A E
She was listenin' for the angels just like me.
D A
So I stood and looked about.
A/D A E
I brushed the leaves off of my snout.
D A E
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees.
A A/D A E
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees.
D A
So I took her by the arm
A/D A E
we settled down upon a farm.
D
And raised our children up as
A E
gently as you pleased.
A A/D E E7 X2
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
And now my fur has turned to skin.
A/D A E
And I've been quickly ushered in
A A/D A E
to a world that I confess I do not know.
A A/D A E
But I still dream of running careless through the snow.
D A
An' through the howlin' winds that blow,
A/D A E
across the ancient distant flow,
A A/D A E E7
it fill our bodies up like water till we know.
A A/D A E E7 2x
[Chorus]
D A
You can wear your fur
A/D A E
like the river on fire.
E7 D A
But you better be sure
A/D A E
if your makin' God a liar.
E7 D A
I'm a rattlesnake, babe,
A/D A E
I'm like fuel on fire.
E7 D A
So if you're gonna' get made,
A/D A D A E E7
don't be afraid of what you've learned.
E7 A A/D
