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
