I Left The Wolves Behind That Night
by The Tiger & Me
Dm A
I walked into a foreign town,
Dm A
A land long left behind.
Dm Gm
I sat beside an acacia tree,
Dm A Dm A
And a fountain of red wine.
Dm A
A blind old man with a bible in his hand,
Dm A
Is struggling through the sand.
Dm Gm
A poor boy dressed in rags in tow,
Dm A Dm A
He leads him by the hand.
Dm Bb
And I left the wolves behind that night,
F Am
I left them where they fell.
Dm Bb
I slayed them one by one that night,
F Am
Beneath the old cathedral bell.
I sang:
Dm A
ladada, ladada, la da, dadada,
Dm A
ladada, ladada, dada da da la da
Dm A Dm
ladada, ladada, la da, da da da,
A
ladada, la da da.
Dm A
The old man took me by the hand,
Dm A
And he led me to the well.
Dm Gm
I said: “I am not a killer or a thief,
Dm A Dm A
But there are other pathways to Hell.”
Dm A
He said: “Worry not about what has passed,
Dm A
And live without regret.
Dm Gm
Think only of the moment now,
Dm A Dm A
You can sleep friend, when you‟re dead.”
Dm Bb
And I left the wolves behind that night,
F Am
I left them where they fell.
Dm Bb
I slayed them one by one that night,
F Am
Beneath the old cathedral bell.
I sang:
Dm A
ladada, ladada, la da, dadada,
Dm A
ladada, ladada, dada da da la da
Dm A Dm
ladada, ladada, la da, da da da,
A
ladada, la da da.
