Intro: Am x6 Am E From the dusty mesa Dm Am Her looming shadow grows Am E Hidden in the branches Dm Am Of the poison creosote 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 Instrumental: Am x6 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 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 Instrumental: Am x8 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 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 Coda: Am x8
