Intro: Dm

[Dm]From the dusty M[A]esa
[Gm]Her looming shadow gro[Dm]ws
[Dm]Hidden in the br[A]anches
[Gm]of the poison creos[Dm]ote

She twine[F]s her spines up slowly
Towa[C]rds the boiling sun
And w[Gm]hen I touched her skin
My fin[A#]gers ran with blood     [Dm]

I[Dm]n the hushing du[A]sk
Under a sw[Gm]ollen silver moo[Dm]n
I ca[Dm]me walking wi[A]th the wind
To w[Gm]atch the cactus blo[Dm]om

And str[F]ange hands halted me,
The loo[C]ming shadows danced
I fe[Gm]ll down to the thorny brush
And f[A#]elt the trembling hands    [Dm]

Wh[Dm]en the last light war[A]ms the rocks
And the ra[Gm]ttlesnakes [Dm]unfold
Mo[Dm]untain cats will [A]come
to d[Gm]rag away your b[Dm]ones

And ri[F]se with me forever
Acr[C]oss the silent sand
And the s[Gm]tars will be your eyes
And the w[A#]ind will be my hands    [Dm]
