freestar
Yeah, when [D]I was only [G]se- [D]ven- t[A]teen [A]
I could [D]hear the angels [G]whis- [D]per- i[A]ing [A]
So I [G]droned into the [D]words and wandered [G]aimless[D]aimlessly ab[A]about
Until I[G] heard my mother[D] shouting through the[A] fog[A]
It turned [D]out to be the [G]howling [D]of a d[A]dog [A]
Or a [G]wolf to be e[D]exact, the sound sent [G]shivers [D]down my b[A]back
But I was [G]drawn into the [D]pack and before [A]long [A]
They al[D]allowed me to join [G]in and [D]sing their s[A]song [A]
So from the [G]cliffs and highest [D]hill, yeah we would [G]gladly [D]get our f[A]fill
Howling [G]endlessly and [D]shrilly at the d[A]dawn [A]
And I [D]lost the taste for [G]judging [D]right from w[A]wrong [A]
For my f[G]flesh had turned to [D]fur, yeah and my [G]thoughts, they [D]surely w[A]were
[G]instinct and [D]obedience to [A]God [A]

Chorus:
You can [G]wear your [D]fur like the [G]river [D]on fi[A]fire
But you [G]better be [D]sure if your [G]makin' [D]God a l[A]liar
I'm a [G]rattlesnake, [D]babe, I'm like [G]fu-el [D]on fi[A]fire
So if you're [G]gonna' get [D]made
Don't be a[G]afraid [D]of wh[D]at y[D]ou've l[A]earned [A] [A] [A]
On the [D]day that I turned [G]twen- [D]ty- t[A]three [A]
I was [D]curled up under[G]underneath a [D]dogwood t[A]tree [A]
When [G]suddenly a [D]girl, with skin the [G]color [D]of a p[A]pearl
Wandered [G]aimlessly, but she [D]didn't seem to [A]see [A]
She was [D]listenin' for the [G]angels [D]just like m[A]me [A]
So I [G]stood and looked a[D]about, I brushed the [G]leaves off [D]of my s[A]snout
And then I [G]heard my mother [D]shouting through the [A]trees [A]
You should have [D]seen that girl go [G]shaky [D]at the k[A]knees [A]
So I [G]took her by the [D]arm, we settled [G]down u[D]upon a f[A]farm
And raised our [G]children up as [D]gently as you [A]pleased [A]
Interlude -x2-:
[D] [G] [D] [A] [A]
And now my [G]fur has turned to [D]skin and I've been [G]quickly [D]ushered i[A]in
To a [G]world that I con[D]confess I do not [A]know [A]
But I still [D]dream of running [G]careless [D]through the s[A]snow [A]
An' through the [G]howlin' winds that [D]blow, across the [G]ancient [D]distant f[A]flow
It fill our [G]bodies up like [D]water till we [A]know [A]
