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
