Am  x 2

    Am             E
(G) From the dusty mesa
        Dm             Am
    Her looming shadow grows
    Am            E
    Hidden in the branches
           Dm         Am
    Of the poison creosote

Am

          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

Am  x 3

(F) In the hushing dusk, under
    A swollen silver moon
    I came walking with the wind
    To watch the cactus bloom

Am

      A strange hunger haunted me
      The looming shadows danced
      I fell down to the thorny brush
      And felt a trembling hand

Am  x 4

(G) When the last light warms the rocks
    And rattlesnakes unfold
(F) Mountain cats will come
    To drag away your bones

Am

  (2) And rise with me forever
      Across the silent sand
      And the stars will be your eyes
      And the wind will be my hands

Am  x 4  (guitare fade out)  puis  ...
