Mama Werewolf chords by Brandi Carlile

🎸 Intro:

Em



🎸 Verse 1:
      Em
Your mama is a werewolf with long, sharp teeth
D     C
  I'm up all night when the world should sleep
    G
I curse the darkness when it's killin' time
         D
I got a river of fear runnin' through my mind
          Em
When the moon shines through those parting clouds
   C
I hear the call and I howl out loud
    G
I stalk the streets where the shadows lie
       D
And I pray to God that that sun will rise
C                Em
But that sun don't always rise

🎸 Chorus:
Em D    C                  G
If my good intentions go runnin' wild
      Em                Bm
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
            C                       G
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
    Em                   C Bm  Am  G  D/F#
My silver bullet in the gun

🎸 Verse 2:
     Em
When I wake and, and I'm reborn
     C
My body aches and my soul is torn
    G
I search the void for any clues
       D
And I feel ashamed for what I've put you through
      Em
This curse a gift from my father's kin
       C
They fought the beast I feel within
              G
But we don't talk about it and we don't call its name
          D
We just carry on, hopin' it'll change
C                Em
But we know it'll never change

🎸 Chorus:
Em D    C                  G

If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
            C                       G
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
    Em                  Bm
My silver bullet in the gun
             C                   G
Would you strike me down right where I stand?
            Em                     Bm
Would you change me back, make me kind again?
           C                        G
