Intro:
Dm Fsus2 Am Bbsus2 x2
Verse 1:
Dm
He came to me a beast, a mythical monstrosity I saw
Fsus2
Standing eminently aft, Adonis built of fur and claw
Am Bbsus2
I’d say on that day, the sun itself begot him as a wolf
Dm
In a field of golden grain, body glistening in white
Fsus2
Inconceivable, his size, nor the brightness of his eyes
Am Bbsus2
But O! From the mountains I could see, and new feelings came to me
[Instrumental]
Dm Fsus2 Am Bbsus2 x6
Verse 2:
Dm
I came to him a creature, a beaten brownish rodent at his feet
Fsus2
I gave a kiss, grotesquely splayed before his blinding effigy
Am Bbsus2
I writhed, in waiting in the dirt, I waited for his word
Dm
I felt so weak, so disgusting as I wеpt upon his knees
Fsus2
I could sense the old contеmpt I had assumed this wolf would feel
Am Bbsus2
But O, There! Came his paws, the wolf took hold and carried me away
[Instrumental]
Dm Fsus2 Am Bbsus2 x4
Bridge:
Dm Fsus2
The bread breaks, across my back so gently, between the cracks
Am Bbsus2
I kneel with a saucerful of milk between my legs
Dm Fsus2 Am
I was starving, all my life for something I hadn’t ever known
Bbsus2
Before I tasted what you served upon your fur
Verse 3:
Dm
You came to me a beast, I came to you a creature
Fsus2
I asked you what it means, you promised me a leader
Am
I don’t understand it either, I don’t understand it either
Bbsus2 Dm
But when you called me yours, it felt real
Fsus2
Oh, it felt real
Am Bbsus2
Oh, it felt reeeeeeeeeeal
