(Intro: percussion x 2 + Am x 4)

Am             E      
From the dusty mesa, her
Dm             Am
Looming shadow grows
Am            E               
Hidden in the branches, of the 
Dm         Am
Poison creosote


C
She twines her spines up slowly
G
Towards the boiling sun, and
Dm
When I touched her skin, my
F               
Fingers ran with blood

(Am x 6)

Am             E                          
In the hushing dusk, under a 
Dm             Am
swollen silver moon
Am              E                       
I came walking with the wind to 
Dm               Am
watch the cactus bloom


C
And strange hands halted me, 
G
the looming shadows danced
Dm
I fell down to the thorny brush and 
F                  
felt the trembling hands

(Am x 8)

Am                 E  
When the last light warms the rocks, and
Dm                   Am
The rattlesnakes unfold
Am                 E
Mountain cats will come to 
Dm             Am
drag away your bones


C
And rise with me forever
 G
Across the silent sand, and
Dm
The stars will be your eyes, and the 
F
Wind will be my hands

(Am ... fade to end)
