Blitzen Trapper – Furr (Ukulele)

           D          G     D     A    A
Yeah, when I was only se-   ven- teen

        D               G     D     A   A
I could hear the angels whis- per- ing

     G               D                  G      D    A
So I droned into the words and wandered aimlessly about

       G               D                    A   A
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog

          D             G       D     A   A
It turned out to be the howling of a dog

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

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

       D                G      D           A    A
They allowed me to join in and sing their song

            G                  D                   G      D        A
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah we would gladly get our fill

        G             D               A   A
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn

      D                  G       D           A     A
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong

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

G            D            A   A
instinct and obedience to God

        G         D            G     D    A
You can wear your fur like the river on fire

        G         D            G      D      A
But you better be sure if your makin' God a liar

      G            D              G     D    A
I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fu-el on fire

             G         D
So if you're gonna get made

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

       D                 G     D     A     A
On the day that I turned twen- ty-  three

      D              G       D        A    A
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree

     G          D                   G     D     A
When suddenly a girl, with skin the color of a pearl

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

        D                 G      D          A  A
She was listenin' for the angels just like me

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

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

                D                 G     D       A     A
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees

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

               G              D             A       A
And raised our children up as gently as you pleased

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

     G               D             A    A
To a world that I confess I do not know

            D                G        D            A    A
But I still dream of running careless through the snow

                G                  D                G       D        A
An' through the howlin' winds that blow, across the ancient distant flow

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

        G         D            G     D    A
You can wear your fur like the river on fire

        G         D            G      D      A
But you better be sure if your makin' God a liar

      G            D              G     D    A
I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fu-el on fire

             G         D
So if you're gonna get made

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