Blitzen Trapper
Furr (ver 5) Chords
Artist: Blitzen Trapper
Song: Furr
After trying out many different tabs for this and watching live videos, this seems most
accurate and is the best I can come up with. The chord names are from chordbook.com so
take them as you will. Not sure about intro.. there isn't much of one really anyway.

G Am7/G G D Amadd11
Yeah, when I was only se- ven- teen
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
I could hear the angels whis- per- ing
C G Am7/G G D
So I droned into the woods and wandered aimlessly about
C G D Amadd11
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
C G Am7/G G D
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
C G D Amadd11
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
C G Am7/G G D
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah we would gladly get our fill
C G D Amadd11
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
C G Am7/G G D
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah and my thoughts they surely were
C G D Amadd11
Turned to instinct and obedience to God
G Am7/G G D Amadd11 X2
Chorus
C G Am7/G G D
You can wear your fur like the river on fire
C G Am7/G G D
But you better be sure if your makin' God a liar
C G Am7/G G D
I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fuel on fire
C G
So if you're gonna' get made
Am7/G G Asus2 Em D Amadd11
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
On the day that I turned twen- ty- three
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
C G Am7/G G D
When suddenly a girl, with skin the color of a pearl
C G D Amadd11
Wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
She was listenin' for the angels just like me
C G Am7/G G D
So I stood and looked about, I brushed the leaves off of my snout
C G D Amadd11
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
C G Am7/G G D
So I took her by the arm, we settled down upon a farm
C G D Amadd11
And raised our children up as gently as you pleased
G Am7/G G D Amadd11 X2
C G Am7/G G D
And now my fur has turned to skin and I've been quickly ushered in
C G D Amadd11
To a world that I confess I do not know
G Am7/G G D Amadd11
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
C G Am7/G G D
And through the howling winds that blow across the ancient distant flow
C G D Amadd11
To fill our bodies up like water till we know
G Am7/G G D Amadd11 X2
Chorus
End on G
