Far From Any Road Tab par The Handsome Family

Cm              G
From the dusty mesa
Fm                    Cm
Her looming shadow grows
Cm              G
Hidden in the branches
Fm                 Cm
of the poison creosote

         D#
She twines her spines up slowly
    A#
Towards the boiling sun
     Fm
And when I touched her skin
      G#             Cm
My fingers ran with blood

 Cm              G
In the hushing dusk
          Fm              Cm
Under a swollen silver moon
    Cm           G
I came walking with the wind
    Fm                 Cm
To watch the cactus bloom

       D#
A strange hunger haunted me,
       A#
The looming shadows danced
    Fm
I fell down to the thorny brush
     G#              Cm
And felt a trembling hand

  Cm                   G
When the last light warms the rocks
          Fm         Cm
And the rattlesnakes unfold
  Cm               G
Mountain cats will come
    Fm             Cm
to drag away your bones

      D#
And rise with me forever
   A#
Across the silent sand
         Fm
And the stars will be your eyes
         G#                 Cm
And the wind will be my hands
