Intro: G C G C

G                     C   G   D     D7
Yeah, when I was only se-ven-teen
G                       C    G   D     D7
I could hear the angels whis-per-ing
      C              G                  C       G  D
So I drove into the woods and wandered aimless-ly about
         C               G                    D     D7
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
           G             C       G    D     D7
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
      C          G                     C       G       D
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
           C              G               D     D7
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
       G                C       G          D     D7
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
C                 G                    C      G       D
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah we would gladly get our fill
         C             G              D     D7
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
       G                  C       G          D     D7
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
C                   G                C             G      D
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts they surely were
C            G            D     D7
Turned to instinct and obedience to God

C         G                  C     G  D
You can wear your fur like a river on fire
         C         G              C      G     D
But you better be sure if you're making God a liar
         C           G            C    G  D
I'm a rattlesnake babe, I'm like fuel on fire
C         G              C         G   C     G     D    D7    Bm    Am
So if you're gonna get made, don't be afraid of what you learned
        G                 C    G  D    D7
On the day that I turned twen-ty three
       G             C          G       D    D7
I was curled up underneath the dogwood tree
          C          G                 C     G    D
When suddenly a girl the skin the color of a pearl
              C                  G              D    D7
She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
         G                 C      G        D    D7
She was listening for the angels just like me
         C                G                    C         G      D
So I stood and looked about, I brushed the leaves off of my snout
                  C               G                    D    D7
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
                         G                 C     G      D    D7
You shoulda seen that girl go shaky at the knees
      C               G               C    G      D
So I took her by the arm, we settled down upon a farm
               C              G             D    D7
And raised our children up as gently as you please

C                 G                   C       G       D
And now my fur has turned to skin, and I've been quickly ushered in,
    C            G                D    D7
To a world that I confess I do not know
             G                C        G           D    D7
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
                C                  G                C       G       D
And through the howling winds that blow, across the ancient distant flow
              C              G             D    D7
That fill our bodies up like water till we know

C         G              C         G   C     G     D    D7    Bm    Am
So if you're gonna get made, don't be afraid of what you learned
