So I droned into the words and wandered aimlessly about
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D/CUntil (x30232@1)I heard my mother shouting through the fog
G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7)D (xx0232@1) D/CIt (x30232@1)turned out to be the howling of a dog
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7) DOr (xx0232@1)a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D/CBut (x30232@1)I was drawn into the pack and before long
G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)G/B (143121@7) D (xx0232@1) D/CThey (x30232@1)allowed me to join in and sing their song

C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D/CHowling (x30232@1)endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7) D (xx0232@1) D/CAnd (x30232@1)I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7) DFor (xx0232@1)my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts, they surely were
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D/Cinstinct (x30232@1)and obedience to God

G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7) D (xx0232@1) D/CI (x30232@1)was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B DWhen (xx0232@1)suddenly a girl, with skin the color of a pearl

G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)G/B (143121@7) D (xx0232@1)D/CShe (x30232@1)was listenin' for the angels just like me
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7) DSo (xx0232@1)I stood and looked about, I brushed the leaves off of my snout
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D/CAnd (x30232@1)then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B D (xx0232@1) D/C (x30232@1)You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)name="chord_143121@7">G/B DSo (xx0232@1)I took her by the arm, we settled down upon a farm
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D/CAnd (x30232@1)raised our children up as gently as you pleased

C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7) DAnd (xx0232@1)now my fur has turned to skin and I've been quickly ushered in
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D/CTo (x30232@1)a world that I confess I do not know
G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7) D (xx0232@1) D/C (x30232@1)But I still dream of running careless through the snow
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) G/B (143121@7) DAn' (xx0232@1)through the howlin' winds that blow, across the ancient distant flow
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) D/CIt (x30232@1)fill our bodies up like water till we know
