FURR by Blitzen Trapper

Capo 7th fret

G      C       G      C

Yeah, when I was only se-ven-teen
      G     C  G  D   D7

I could hear the angels whis-per-ing
     G        C  G  D   D7

So I drove into the woods and wandered aimless-ly about
   C       G         C    G D

Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
     C        G          D   D7

It turned out to be the howling of a dog
      G       C    G  D   D7

Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
   C     G           C    G    D

But I was drawn into the pack and before long
      C       G        D   D7

They allowed me to join in and sing their song
    G        C    G     D   D7

So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah we would gladly get our fill
       C         G          C   G    D

Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
     C       G       D   D7

And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
    G         C    G     D   D7

For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts they surely were
    C          G        C       G   D

Turned to instinct and obedience to God
      C      G      D   D7

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 D

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

On the day that I turned twen-ty three
    G         C  G D  D7

I was curled up underneath the dogwood tree
    G       C     G    D  D7

When suddenly a girl the skin the color of a pearl
   C     G         C   G  D

She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
       C         G       D  D7

She was listening for the angels just like me
     G         C   G    D  D7

So I stood and looked about, I brushed the leaves off of my snout
   C        G          C     G   D

And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
      C        G          D  D7

You shoulda seen that girl go shaky at the knees
       G         C   G   D  D7

So I took her by the arm, we settled down upon a farm
   C        G        C  G   D

And raised our children up as gently as you please
        C       G       D  D7

And now my fur has turned to skin, and I've been quickly ushered in,
      C         G          C    G    D

To a world that I confess I do not know
   C      G        D  D7

But I still dream of running careless through the snow
       G        C    G      D  D7

And through the howling winds that blow, across the ancient distant flow
         C         G        C    G    D

That fill our bodies up like water till we know
        C       G       D  D7
