Intro: Am


Am              EFrom the dusty May sun
Dm                    AmHer looming shadow grows
Am              EHidden in the branches
Dm                 Amof the poison creosote

         CShe twines her spines up slowly
    GTowards the boiling sun
     DmAnd when I touched her skin
      F             AmMy fingers ran with blood

 Am              EIn the hushing dusk
          Dm              AmUnder a swollen silver moon
    Am           EI came walking with the wind
    Dm                 AmTo watch the cactus bloom

       CAnd strange hands halted me,
       GThe looming shadows danced
    DmI fell down to the thorny brush
     F              AmAnd felt the trembling hands

  Am                   EWhen the last light warms the rocks
          Dm         AmAnd the rattlesnakes unfold
  Am               EMountain cats will come
    Dm             Amto drag away your bones

      CAnd rise with me forever
   GAcross the silent sand
         DmAnd the stars will be your eyes
         F                 AmAnd the wind will be my hands
