D G D                      A        
■ ■ ■ Yeah when I was only seventeen
        D               A         
I could hear the angels whispering
     G              D                  G         D A    
So I drove into the woods and wandered aimlessly ■ about
        G               D                    A  
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
   D                                 A  
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
     G          D    
Or a wolf to be exact
                               A   
The sound sent shivers down my back
          G              D               A   
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
     D                                    A   
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
            G                  D    
So from the cliffs and highest hills
              G      D       A   
Yeah we would gladly get our fill
G                     D              A   
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
      D                                     A    
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
       G                   D  
For my flesh had turned to fur
                                 A   
Yeah and my thoughts they surely were
          G            D            A  
Turned to instinct and obedience to God

[Chorus]
        G         D                   A   
You can wear your fur like a river on fire
          D                                     A   
But you'd better be sure if you're making God a liar
                  D                       A   
I'm a rattlesnake babe I'm like fuel on a fire
             G         D   
So if you're gonna get made
                               A       D
Don't be afraid of what you've learned ■


[Verse]
Em7        D                 A          
■   On the day that I turned twentythree
      D                      A           
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
G               D                            A    
When suddenly a girl her skin the color of a pearl
             G                 D              A  
She wandered aimlessly but she didn't seem to see
        D                                  A 
She was listening for the angels just like me
     G                D    
So I stood and looked about
                               A    
I brushed the leaves off of my snout
           G               D                    A    
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
                D                              A    
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
     G               D  
So I took her by the arm
                       A   
We settled down upon a farm
               G              D             A     
And raised our children up as gently as you please

[Chorus]
           D   G   D             
And now my fur has turned to skin
                              A 
And I've been quickly ushered in
     G                    D          A   
To a world that I confess ■ I do not know
            D                                     A   
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
                G                  D   
And through the howling winds that blow
           G               A   
Across the ancient distant flow
            G              D             A   
To fill our bodies up like water 'til we know

You can wear your fur like a river on fire
          G         D                           A   
But you'd better be sure if you're making God a liar
      G           D                       A   
I'm a rattlesnake babe I'm like fuel on a fire
             G         D   
So if you're gonna get made
                   Bm          A      
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
