Capo 4
E
Cruel, cruel moon
B
Please don’t come out tonight
B
‘Cause when you do, my Emily Lou
E
And me are gonna have a fight
A
They say the full moon’s meant for lovers
E
But you’re gonna break my heart
B
‘Cause when you shine
B
That baby of mine
B
Will turn into a werewolf
A E
And rip out my throat and kill me
E
Four weeks ago me and Emily Lou
B
We were on a Northern England tour
B
Late one night
B
Against advice
E
We went a’ walkin’ on the moors
Am
She thought she saw a doggy
E C#
Underneath the full moon’s light
F#
But when she tried to pet that doggy
B
It gave her a nasty bite
E
Didn’t think too much about it
B
‘Till this morning when I read
B
There was some kind of monster out last night
E
And eighteen folks were dead
Am
My baby slept there next to me
E C#
With blood caked in her claws
F#
Tattered clothing, guts and entrails
B
Clenched between her jaws
E
Cruel, cruel moon
B
Please don’t come out tonight
B
‘Cause when you do, my Emily Lou
E
And me are gonna have a fight
A
They say the full moon’s meant for lovers
E
But you’re gonna break my heart
B
‘Cause when you shine
B
That baby of mine will
B
Turn on me and rip my lungs out
A E
And julienne my liver
(B A E)
E
Every time you think you know someone
B
That’s when they change again
B
So Mr. Moon, can you help me out
E
Of this doggone fix I’m in?
Am
I locked my baby in the basement
E C#
And reinforced the door
F#
But when she’s done lycanthropizing
B
She’s gonna settle up the score
E
My finger’s on the trigger
B
Of this gun full of silver bullets
E
But Mr. Moon, I love my Emily Lou
E
Too much to pull it
Am
My daylight’s runnin’ out soon
E C#
And this door won’t hold for long
F#
One last chance now, Mr. Moon
B
Won’t you listen to my song?
E
Cruel, cruel moon
B
Please don’t come out tonight
B
‘Cause when you do, my Emily Lou
E
And me are gonna have a fight
A
They say the full moon’s meant for lovers
E
But you’re gonna break my heart
B
‘Cause when you shine
B
That baby of mine
B
Will painfully transform
B B
Just like that guy from An American Werewolf in London
B
Then she’ll tear my eyeballs from their sockets
A Am E
Then I won’t see my baby anymore
