Blitzen Trapper – Furr (Guitar Acoustic)

           G          Gadd13 G    D     D/C
Yeah, when I was only se-    ven- teen

           G          Gadd13 G    D     D/C
I could hear the angels whis- per- ing

     C/G            G                  Gadd13 G  D
So I drove into the woods and wandered aimlessly about

        C/G             G                    D   D/C
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog

           G          Gadd13    G    D     D/C
It turned out to be the howling of a dog

     C/G          G                   Gadd13  G       D
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back

          C/G            G               D    D/C
But I was drawn into the pack and before long

       G                Gadd13 G          D     D/C
They allowed me to join in and sing their song

            C/G                G                    Gadd13 G       D
So from the cliffs and highest hills, yeah we would gladly get our fill

        C/G           G              D    D/C
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn

           G             Gadd13  G          D     D/C
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong

       C/G                 G                Gadd13    G           D
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts, they surely were

          C/G           G           D   D
turned to instinct and obedience to God

        C/G       G            Gadd13  G  D
You can wear your fur like the river   on fire

        C/G       G            Gadd13  G     D
But you better be sure if your makin'  God a liar

            C/G    G              Gadd13   G  D
I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fu-el on a  fire

             C/G        G
So if you're gonna' get made

         Gadd13    G           D
Don't be afraid of what you've learned

       G                 Gadd13 G    D     D/C
On the day that I turned twen-  ty-  three

           G         Gadd13  G       D     D/C
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree

     C/G        G                   Gadd13  G    D
When suddenly a girl, with skin the color   of a pearl

         C/G                G              D  D/C
Wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see

        G                 Gadd13 G         D  D/C
She was listenin' for the angels just like me

     C/G               G                   Gadd13     G     D
So I stood and looked about, I brushed the leaves off of my snout

           C/G             G                    D     D/C
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees

                G                 Gadd13 G      D     D/C
You should have seen that girl go shaky  at the knees

     C/G             G               Gadd13 G      D     D/C
So I took her by the arm, we settled down   upon a farm

               C/G            G             D       D/C
And raised our children up as gently as you pleased

           C/G               G                  Gadd13  G       D
And now my fur has turned to skin and I've been quickly ushered in

     C/G             G             D    D
To a world that I confess I do not know

            G                    Gadd13  G           D     D/C
But I still dream of running careless    through the snow

                C/G                G                Gadd13  G       D
An' through the howlin' winds that blow, across the ancient distant flow

            C/G            G             D    D/C
It fill our bodies up like water till we know

        C/G       G            Gadd13  G  D
You can wear your fur like the river   on fire

        C/G       G            Gadd13  G     D
But you better be sure if your makin'  God a liar

            C/G    G              Gadd13   G  D
I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fu-el on a  fire

             C/G        G
So if you're gonna' get made

         Gadd13    G           D
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
