Furr - Blitzen Trapper

DGDAA7

Yeah, when I was only seventeen

DGDAA7

I could hear the angels whispering

GDGDA

So I drove into the woods and wandered aimlessly about

GDAA7

Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog

DGDAA7

It turned out to be the howling of a dog

Or a wolf to be exact

GDA

The sound sent shivers down my back

GDAA7

But I was drawn into the pack and before long

DGDAA7

They allowed me to join in and sing their song

So from the cliffs and higher still

GDA

Yeah, we would gladly get our fill

GDAA7

Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn

And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong

For my flesh had turned to fur

Yeah, and my thoughts, they surely were

Turned to instinct and obedience to God

You can wear your fur like a river on fire

GDGDA

But you better be sure if you're makin' God a liar

GDGDA

I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fuel on fire

So if you're gonna' get made, don't be afraid of what you've learned

DGDAA7

On the day that I turned twenty-three

DGDAA7

I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree

GDGDA

When suddenly a girl, her skin the color of a pearl

GDAA7

She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see

DGDAA7

She was listenin' for the angels just like me

So I stood and looked about

GDA

I brushed the leaves off of my snout

GDAA7

And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees

DGDAA7

You should've seen that girl go shaky at the knees

So I took her by the arm

GDA

We settled down upon a farm

GDAA7

And raised our children up as gently as you please

Harm

And now my fur has turned to skin

GDA

And I've been quickly ushered in

GDAA7

To a world that I confess I do not know

DGDAA7

But I still dream of runnin' careless through the snow

And through the howlin' winds that blow

GDA

Across the ancient distant flow

GDAA7

It fill our bodies up like water 'til we know
