[Verse 1] AmE From the dusty mesa DmAm Her looming shadow grows AmE Hidden in the branches DmAm of the poison creosote Am [Verse 2] 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 [Interlude] AmAmAmAmAmAm [Verse 3] AmE In the hushing dusk DmAm Under a swollen silver moon AmE I came walking with the wind DmAm To watch the cactus bloom Am [Verse 4] C A strange hunger haunted me, G The looming shadows danced Dm I fell down to the thorny brush F And felt a trembling hand [Interlude] AmAmAmAmAmAm [Verse 5] AmE When the last light warms the rocks DmAm And the rattlesnakes unfold AmE Mountain cats will come DmAm to drag away your bones Am [Verse 6] C And rise with me forever G Across the silent sand Dm And the stars will be your eyes F And the winds will be my hands [Outro] AmAmAmAm AmAmAmAm AmAm
