        VERSE

Dm             C        Gm
From the dusty mesa the looming 
shadow grows

Dm            C          Gm
Hidden in the poison creosote

Dm             C            Gm
In the hushing dusk under a swollen 
silver moon

       Dm               C     
I came walking with the wind to 
                   Gm
watch the cactus bloom



        CHORUS

    F
She twines her spines up slowly

   C
To ward the boiling sun

    Gm
And when I touched her skin

   Bb
My fingers ran with blood

   F
Oh rise with me forever

 C
Across the silent sand

Continues after the ad
        Gm
And the stars will be your eyes

        Bb
And the wind


Will be my hand

           Dm
Will by my hand

        VERSE

Dm             C               
Strange hunger haunted me, the 
Gm
looming shadows danced

     Dm                 C         
Fell down to the thorny brush and 
                 Gm
felt a trembling hand

             Dm                   
And when the last light warms the 
C             Gm
rocks and the rattle snakes unfold

Dm                C              
Cats will come to drag away your 
Gm
bones




        CHORUS

    F
She twines her spines up slowly

   C
To ward the boiling sun

    Gm
And when I touched her skin

   Bb
My fingers ran with blood

   F
Oh rise with me forever

 C
Across the silent sand

        Gm
And the stars will be your eyes

        Bb
And the wind


Will be my hand

           Dm
Will by my hand
