[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]
Am Am Am Am
Am Am Am Am
