Am Em From the dusty mesa Dm Am Her looming shadow grows Am Em 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 Am My fingers ran with blood Am Em In the hushing dusk Dm Am Under a swollen silver moon Am Em I came walking with the wind Dm Am To watch the cactus bloom C And strange hunger haunted me, G The looming shadows danced Dm I fell down to the thorny brush F Am And felt the trembling hands Am Em When the last light warms the rocks Dm Am And the rattlesnakes unfold Am Em 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 Am And the wind will be my hands
