D G F#m A
Yeah, when I was only se- ven- teen
D G F#m A
I could hear the angels whis- per- ing
G D G F#m A
So I droned into the woods and wandered aimlessly about
G D A
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
D G F#m A
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
G D G F#m A
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
G D A
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
D G F#m A
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
G D G F#m A
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah we would gladly get our fill
G D A
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
D G F#m A
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
G D G F#m A
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts they surely were
G D A
Turned to instinct and obedience to God
Chorus
G D G F#m A
You can wear your fur like the river on fire
G D G F#m A
But you better be sure if your makin' God a liar
G D G F#m A
I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fuel on fire
G D
So if you're gonna' get made
G F#m A
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
