[G]
[D] Yeah, when I was only [A] seventeen I [D] could hear the angels [A] whispering
[G] So I drove [D] into the woods and wandered aimlessly about
[G] Until I heard my mother [D] shouting through the [A] fog
[D] It turned out to be the howling [A] of a dog
[G] Or a wolf to be [D] exact
The sound sent shivers down my [A] back
But I was [G] drawn [D] into the pack and before [A] long
They allowed me to join in and sing their [A] song
So from [G] the cliffs and higher [D] still
Yeah, we [G] would gladly get our fill
Howling endlessly [D] and shrilly at the [A] dawn
[D] And I lost a taste [G] for judging right [A] from wrong
For [G] my flesh had [D] turned to fur
Yeah, [G] in my thoughts they [A] surely were
[G] Turned to instinct [D] and obedience [A] to God
You [D]
[A] [D]
[A] [G] can wear [D] your fur [G] like a river [A] on fire
[G] But you'd better [D] be sure [G] if you're making [A] God a liar
[G] I'm a [D] rattlesnake, babe, [G] I'm like fuel on fire
So if you're gonna [D] get me, don't be afraid [Bm] of what [A] you've learned
[Bm] [D] On the day that I turned [A] twenty-three
I [D] was curled up underneath a [A] dogwood tree
[G] When suddenly, [D] girl, her [G] skin the color [A] of a pearl
She [G] wandered aimlessly [D] but she didn't [A] seem to see
She [D] was listening for the angels [A] just like me
So [G] I stood and [D] looked about, I [G] brushed the leaves off [A] of my snout
And [G] then I heard my [D] mother shouting [A] through the trees
You [D] should have seen that girl go shaky [A] at the knees
So [G] I took her [D] by the arm, we [G] settled down upon [A] a farm
And [G] raised our children up [D] as gently as [A] you please
[D] Now
[A] [D]
[A] [G] my fur has turned [D] to skin and [G] I've been quickly [A] ushered in
To [G] a world that I [D] confess I do [A] not know
But I [D] still dream of running [G] careless through [A] the snow
And through [G] the howling winds [D] that blow
Across the ancient distant [A] flow
That fills [G] our bodies up [D] like water till [A] we know
[D] You
[A] [D]
[A] [G] can wear [D] your fur like a river on fire
But [G] you better be sure [G] if you're making [A] God a liar
[G] I'm a [D] rattlesnake, babe, [G] I'm like fuel [A] on a fire
