D G
[Verse 1-1]
D G Yeah, when ID was only GseDvenAteen,
A7 I could Dhear the angels GwhisDpeAring
A7 So I Gdrove into the woDods and wandered aGimlesDsly about
A Until I heGard my mother shoDuting through the fog
[Verse 1-2]
A A7 It turned Dout to be the hGowling ofD a dAog
A7 Or a woGlf to be exaDct
The sound sent Gshivers downD my back
A But I was Gdrawn into the pack
D And before loAngA7 they alloDwed me to join inG and singD their soAng
A7 So from the cliffsG and higher still
D Yeah, we would gladGly Dget our fill
A Howling Gendlessly and Dshrilly at the dawn
[Verse 1-3]
A A7 And I Dlost the taste for Gjudging rightD from wrAong
A7 For my Gflesh had turned to fur
D Yeah, and my thoughts,G they suDrely weAre
Turned to Ginstinct and oDbedience to God A A7

[Chorus]
A7 You can Gwear your fDur like a Griver Don fiAre
But you Gbetter be suDre if you're mGakin' DGod a liAar
I'm a Grattlesnake, baDbe, I'm like Gfuel onD fire
A So if you're Ggonna' get madeD don't be afraGid Dof Emwhat Bmyou've Alearned
[Verse 2-1]
A7 D A On the dDay that I turned GtweDntyAthree
A7 I was Dcurled up underneathG a dogDwood Atree
A7 When Gsuddenly a girl,D her skin the Gcolor ofD a pearl
A She wandered aimGlessly, but she Ddidn't seem to see
[Verse 2-2]
A A7 She was Dlistenin' for the anGgels justD like me A
A7 So I Gstood and looked about
D I brushed the leavesG off ofD my snout
A And then I heardG my mother shDouting through the trees
A A7 You should've seenD that girl go Gshaky Dat the kneAes
A7 So I Gtook her by the arm
D We settled downG uponD a farm
A And raised our Gchildren up as geDntly as you pleAase A7

D G D A A7
D G D A
[Pre-Chorus]
A7 And now my Gfur has turned to skin
D And I've been Gquickly uDshered in
A To a worldG that I confessD I do not knAow
A7 But I still Ddream of runnin' careGless throughD the snoAw.
A7 And through the howGlin' winds that blow
D Across the anGcient disDtant flAow
It fill our Gbodies up like waDter till we knAow A7
