[Verse 1]
Am E Dm Am From the dusty Mesa her looming shadow grows Am E Dm Am Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote C She twines her spines up slowly G Towards the boiling sun Dm And when I touched her skin F My fingers ran with blood

[Verse 2]
Am E Dm Am In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon Am E Dm Am I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom C G A strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced Dm F I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand

[Verse 3]
Am E When the last light warms the rocks Dm Am And the rattlesnakes unfold Am E Dm Am Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones C And rise with me forever G Across the silent sand Dm And the stars will be your eyes F And the wind will be my hands
