[Intro]
Am Am Am Am
Am Am

[Verse 1]
Am              E  
From the dusty mesa
Dm                    Am
Her looming shadow grows
Am             E      
Hidden in the branches
Dm              Am    
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]
Am Am Am Am Am Am

[Verse 3]
 Am         E      
In the hushing dusk
          Dm            Am 
Under a swollen silver moon
    Am          E           
I came walking with the wind
    Dm               Am  
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]
Am Am Am Am Am Am

[Verse 5]
  Am                  E            
When the last light warms the rocks
          Dm         Am    
And the rattlesnakes unfold
  Am              E    
Mountain cats will come
    Dm            Am   
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]
