FURR by Blitzen Trapper
Capo 7th fret
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Yeah, when I was only se-ven-teen
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
I could hear the angels whis-per-ing
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
So I drove into the woods and wandered aimless-ly about
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah we would gladly get our fill
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts they surely were
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
Turned to instinct and obedience to God
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
(Harmonica Solo)
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
You can wear your fur like a river on fire
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
But you better be sure if you're making God a liar
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
I'm a rattlesnake babe, I'm like fuel on fire
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
So if you're gonna get made, don't be afraid of what you learned
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7 B minorBm A minorAm
On the day that I turned twen-ty three
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
I was curled up underneath the dogwood tree
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
When suddenly a girl the skin the color of a pearl
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
She was listening for the angels just like me
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
So I stood and looked about, I brushed the leaves off of my snout
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
You shoulda seen that girl go shaky at the knees
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
So I took her by the arm, we settled down upon a farm
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
And raised our children up as gently as you please
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
(Harmonica Solo)
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
And now my fur has turned to skin, and I've been quickly ushered in,
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
To a world that I confess I do not know
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
And through the howling winds that blow, across the ancient distant flow
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
That fill our bodies up like water till we know
C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7

G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7
You can wear your fur like a river on fire
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
But you better be sure if you're making God a liar
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
I'm a rattlesnake babe, I'm like fuel on fire
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
So if you're gonna get made, don't be afraid of what you learned
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD D7D7 B minorBm A minorAm
