FURR by Blitzen Trapper
Capo 7th fret
[G] [C] [G] [C]
Yeah, when I was only se-ven-teen
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
I could hear the angels whis-per-ing
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
So I drove into the woods and wandered aimless-ly about
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
[C] [G] [D] [D7]
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
[C] [G] [D] [D7]
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah we would gladly get our fill
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
[C] [G] [D] [D7]
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts they surely were
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
Turned to instinct and obedience to God
[C] [G] [D] [D7]
(Harmonica Solo)
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7] [G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
You can wear your fur like a river on fire
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
But you better be sure if youâ??re making God a liar
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
Iâ??m a rattlesnake babe, Iâ??m like fuel on fire
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
So if youâ??re gonna get made, donâ??t be afraid of what you learned
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D] [D7] [Bm] [Am]
On the day that I turned twen-ty three
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
I was curled up underneath the dogwood tree
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
When suddenly a girl the skin the color of a pearl
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
She wandered aimlessly, but she didnâ??t seem to see
[C] [G] [D] [D7]
She was listening for the angels just like me
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
So I stood and looked about, I brushed the leaves off of my snout
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
[C] [G] [D] [D7]
You shoulda seen that girl go shaky at the knees
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
So I took her by the arm, we settled down upon a farm
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
And raised our children up as gently as you please
[C] [G] [D] [D7]
(Harmonica Solo)
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7] [G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
And now my fur has turned to skin, and Iâ??ve been quickly ushered in,
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
To a world that I confess I do not know
[C] [G] [D] [D7]
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]
And through the howling winds that blow, across the ancient distant flow
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
That fill our bodies up like water till we know
[C] [G] [D] [D7]

[G] [C] [G] [D] [D7] [G] [C] [G] [D] [D7]

[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
But you better be sure if youâ??re making God a liar
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
Iâ??m a rattlesnake babe, Iâ??m like fuel on fire
[C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
So if youâ??re gonna get made, donâ??t be afraid of what you learned
