Furr

Key: GCapo 7Medium

GCGC

GYeah, when I was only Cse-vGen-tDeen D7

GI could hear the angels Cwhis-Gper-Ding D7

So I dCrove into the wGoods and wandered aCimless-lGy aDbout

Until I hCeard my mother sGhouting through the fDog D7

It turned oGut to be the hCowling oGf a dDog D7

Or a wColf to be eGxact, the sound sent sChivers dGown my bDack

But I was dCrawn into the pGack and before lDong D7

They alGlowed me to join Cin and sGing their sDong D7

CSo from the cliffsG and highest hill, yeCah we wGould glaDdly get our fill

Howling eCndlessly and sGhrilly at the dDawn D7

And I lGost the taste for jCudging rGight from wDrong D7

CFor my flesh had turGned to fur, yeah Cand my thoughtGs they Dsurely were

CTurned to insGtinct and obeDdienceD7 to God

GCGDD7GCGDD7

CYou can weGar your fur like a Criver Gon Dfire

But you bCetter be sGure if you?re mCaking GGod a lDiar

I?m a ratCtlesnake babGe, I?m like fCuel oGn fDire

CSo if you?Gre gonna get maCde, don?t Gbe aCfraid Gof whaDt youD7 learnBmed Am

On the dGay that I turned tCwen-tGy tDhree D7

I was cGurled up underCneath the dGogwood tDree D7

When suddeCnly a girl Gthe skin the colorC of a GpearlD

She wandered aCimlessly, but she dGidn?t seem to sDee D7

She was lGistening for the aCngels jGust like Dme D7

So I stooCd and looked abouGt, I brushed the leavCes off of Gmy snouDt

And then I heard mCy mother shoutinGg through the trees D D7

You shoulda seen that girGl go shaky at the Cknees G D D7

So I tCook her by the aGrm, we settled dCown uGpon a fDarm

And raised our Cchildren up as Ggently as you DpleasD7e

GCGDD7GCGDD7

CAnd now my fur hasG turned to skin, andC I?ve beGen quickDly ushered in,

To aC world that IG confess I do notD knowD7

But I still dGream of running cCareless tGhrough the sDnow D7

And through the Chowling winds that Gblow, across the Cancient Gdistant Dflow

That fill our Cbodies up like Gwater till we Dknow D7

GCGDD7GCGDD7

CYou can weGar your furC like Ga rDiver on fire

But you bCetter be sGure if you?re mCaking GGod a lDiar

Across The River

Key: GCapo 2Easy

Well I Gdove into that Emriver

To Csee what GI coulDd find

And the Cwater it Grolled oDn top Gof me

And the Cstars refused to Dshine

Well I sGwam until I cEmould not swim

Then I Cswam a liGttle mDore

And the Ccurrent Gheld me like a Dlover?s Garms

And then it Cleft me on the Dshore

Then I Gstood and looked to fromEm where I came

The Cplace where GI was Dborn

But it Cseemed to Gme only Dhalf is Greal

Like the Cdark and distant Dstorm

And I Gbreathed the air aroundEm me

I Cfelt my Gheart beat Dnew

For I Cleft my Ghome and I Dnearly dGrowned

For a Cglimpse of something Dfew have ever Gseen

Then I Gwalked up from the Emshoreline

To a Ccity Gshining Dbright

And I Cwalked the Gstreets of that Dlovely Gplace

CTill the coming of the Dnight

But there Gwere no voices Emspeaking

There was Cnot a Gsoul Daround

So I Csat Galone on an Dempty Gthrone

In the Cmiddle of that Dtown

And I said Coh my, Goh me

COh Gme, oh Dmy

There?s a Criver that Gruns betDween the Gsun

And the Cdarkness of our Dlives

You can Chit the road or Gstay in bed

You can Csink or Gswim or Dfight

But when Call of Gthis is Dsaid and Gdone

You gon? Cwalk so gently Dstill into thaGt night

Then I Gsat so still and Emsilent

With my Chead Ghanging Dlow

And an CemptiGness like a Dbarren Gfield

You know it Csettled round my sDoul

Then a Gman appeared Embefore me

Though I Ctried, I Gcan?t Ddeny

That he Chad my Gfather?s Dface and Ghands

But his Ceyes shone like the Dsky

He said my Gson, you?ve Emcome too soon

You better Cget on Goutta Dhere

You know I?d Clet you Gstay but round Dhere a Gday

Is much Clike a thousand Dyears

And your Gheart is like a Emdiamond

It Csplits the Glight in Dtwo

And you?ll Conly Gshine for a Dcertain Gtime

Till you?re Cswallowed up in Dblue

And I said Coh my, Goh me

COh Gme, oh Dmy

There?s a Criver that Gruns betDween the Gsun

And the Cdarkness of our Dlives

You can Chit the road or Gstay in bed

You can Csink or Gswim or Dfight

But when Call of Gthis is Dsaid and Gdone

You gon? Cwalk so gently Dstill into thaGt night

So I Gdove into that Emriver

CAgain a Gsecond Dtime

And the Cwater Grolled on Dtop ofG me

And the Cstars refused to Dshine

Then I Gswam until I Emcould not swim

And I Csank just Glike a Dstone

When I Cwoke Gagain I was Dlaying Gin

My Cbed inside my Dhome

Then I Gwalked out to the Emcity streets

With the Cvoices Ghigh andD bright

And I Cbreathed the Gair withDout a Gcare

And I Cwalked so gently Dstill

Into that Glight

G/F

Now if you're Egonna play your games withA me

Like a Aleaf in the the A/Gtop of the Etree D

You Abetter watch your step when you're Ecoming back Ddown

From the Gcity on out to the Csea

From a Gcountry in a foreign Cland

Throwing Gdice in a game of Cchance on the G/Bsand

But I Alost my cool, and Efate loves a Dfool

Now I'm Gstanding on the edge of the Cpast

In my Gspacesuit D/Fhoping that this Emwoman will Dcall me at Alast C

'Cause I'm an EastroDnaut on the Ashores of this Ggrand Cillusion A7

And I'm Efalling Ddown at the Asound of this Gbeating Cheart

Your Efriends all tell you that you Dgotta make a Achange

Gotta Amake this break in so Gmany kind of Eways

The Esky to the trees, from the Dtrees to the Aearth'

From the Aearth to your grave, from the Ggrave to your Ebirth

EYour heart's been heavy with the Dsilver and the Agold

But the Agold ain't yours 'cause his Gheart's been Esold

For to Cpay your lover's Dway

EOh my, my now we're Drollin' by and Aby

Got my Achildren to Glight the Eway

EOh my, my now we're Drollin' by and Aby

Better Ause some real A/GtrickerEy

You Abetter get smart 'cause that Elock on your Dheart

It ain't as Gheavy as it used to Cbe

In a Gland without no Cgravity

In this Awindless place, on the Eedge of Dspace

Where the Gsaints and the sinners have Cpassed

With the Gdead satellites and the Ctrash

In my Gspacesuit D/Fhoping that this Emwoman will D/Fcall me at Alast

'Cause I'm an EastroDnaut on the Ashores of this Ggrand Cillusion A7

And I'm Efalling Ddown at the Asound of this Gbeating Cheart

Love The Way You Walk Away

Key: FMedium

FI been feelin Gin the way, kinda Cunderfoot on a FSaturday

FSun it don't Gmean to hurt I guess

But the Cbright light's harsh when you're Ftryin to rest

I Fknow you been workin some Govertime

In your Cgranddad's kitchen tryin to Fmake a dime

The Fold joke stands cuz it's Gtrue I guess

That when you Cfind what you're lookin for you Fwant it less

Cuz Fbaby I'm on the maGke, in my Cold sport coat and my Fhead it aches

I'm Fdrinkin too Gmuch tonCight and it ain't rFight

And a Fbrand new coat of pGaint on this bCroke-down palace

Couldn't Fcompensate

Oh the Fthing's I never Greally saCy to make you Fstay

Cuz I love the way you walk awaCy

FI spent the night in an Gold sedan

It was Cparked by the river where the Foak tree stands

FTryin to find a station on that Gradio

Searchin Chard for a song that I Fjust don't know

FSome kind of personal epGiphany

But all I Cheard was the stars as they Fspoke to me

An Fancient tongue, speakin' Gloud and true

Telling Cme all the ways that I'm Flosing you

Cuz Fbaby I'm on the mGake, in my Cold sport coat and my Fhead it aches

I'm Fbringin you Gdown tonCight and it ain't rFight

And a Fbrand new coat of Gpaint on this Cbroke-down palace

Couldn't Fcompensate

Oh the Fthing's I never Greally sCay to make you Fstay

Cuz I love the way you walk awaGy

Hey Dmhey

EmHey hey hFey

HeyeyeyeCy Dm

EmHey hey hFey

HeyeyeyeCy

FI been feelin' Ghard to get

Like a Cdog hidin out underFneath the step

FBurnin' this bridge, cause I Gneed the light

For to Csee my way through the Fcoming night

FGuess I thought you'd always just Gplay the game

Come a Cwalkin' on back down the Fsame old lane

But the Fgrass grows high all arGound your door

It's a Csign or symbol for the Fthings in store

FCuz baby I'm on the maGke, in my oCld sport coat and my Fhead it aches

I'm Fdrinkin too Gmuch tonCight and it ain't rigFht

And a Fbrand new coat of Gpaint on this Cbroke-down palace

Couldn't Fcompensate

Oh the Fthing's I never Greally saCy to make you Fstay

Black River Killer

Key: AmCapo 4Medium

It was Amjust a little while past the Emsunset strip

They Cfound the girl?s Gbody in an oDpen pit

Her Ammouth was sewn shut, but her Emeyes were still wide

GCazing through the Gfog to the otDher side

They bookedAm me on a whim and threw me deEmep in jail

With no bCail, sitting sileGnt on a rustDy pail

Just gaziAmng at tEmhe marks on the opposite wall

RememberiCng thGe music of my lovDer?s call

So youAm make no mistake I know just Emwhat it takes

To puCll a man?s soul bGack from heaDven?s gates

I?ve beAmen wandering in the dark abouEmt as long as sin

But tChey say it?s neveGr too late tDo start again

Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen

Will the Cspirit come a Gcalling for my Dsoul to send?

Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen

Will the Ckeys to the Gkingdom be Dmine again?

It wAmas dark as the grave, it was Emjust about three

When Cthe warden with hGis key came Dto set me free

TheyAm gave me five dollars and a sEmecondhand suit

A pisCtol and a hat andG a worn out Dflute

So IAm took a bus down to the Rio GEmrande

And IC shot a man down Gon the edge Dof town

ThenAm I stole me a horse and I rodEme it around

Til tChe sheriff pulledG me in and hDe sat me down

He sAmaid you make no mistake I knoEmw just what it takes

To puCll a man?s soul bGack from heaDven?s gates

I?ve beAmen wandering in the dark abouEmt as long as sin

But tChey say it?s neveGr too late tDo start again

OhAm when, ohEm when

Will the Cspirit come a Gcalling for my Dsoul to send?

Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen

Will the Ckeys to the Gkingdom be Dmine again?

Well the Amsheriff let me go with a knifEme and a song

So I Ctook the first trGain up to OrDegon

And I Amkilled the first man that I cEmame upon

Because the devil works quick, you know it don?t take long

Then IAm went to the river ford to taEmke a swim

You kCnow that black riGver water isD as black as sin

And I Amwashed myself clean as a newbEmorn babe

And tChen I picked up aG rock for toD sharpen my blade

Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen

Will the Cspirit come a Gcalling for my Dsoul to send?

Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen

Will the Ckeys to the Gkingdom be Dmine again?

OhAm when, ohEm when

Will the Cspirit come a Gcalling for my Dsoul to send?

Oh Amwhen, oh Emwhen

Will the Ckeys to the Gkingdom be Dmine again?

Valley Of Death

Key: AmEasy

I kAmnow whDat it means to get knocked down drunk,

I wAmas lying inD a bush by the coal,

where tAmhe river runs deep

&G the demons don't sleep

& the waDter's obscured by the smoke.

& I sDtood on the stone

& I sDpoke to the wind and the rain.

SAmaid I kDnow what it means to get left for dead,

wheAmn the saintDs rise up at the sound.

WheAmn the spirits don't move in

tGheir chains and the shoes

anDd the crack of the guns all around.

I kAmnow hDow it is to get all dressed up,

wAmhere noboDdy would know where to go.

WAmith a fifth in your vest,

andG some pills on your tongue

and a Dgun looking out across

the Valley of the Shadow below, oh.

WAmell I preached to the bums

aDnd I preached to the birds

tAmil the Dcrowd had started to form.

My disAmciples that came,

througGh the wind and the rain

aDnd the rags in their jackets all torn.

WAmell I pDrophesized of the things to come

aAmnd I jDumped like a bug on a wall,

til my hAmead it was through

with the rGiver's strange brew

and I sDunk to my knees, in the breeze,
