Chords with lyrics
A minorAm
You howled like a wolf
G+G
You howled like a child
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
You howled like a ghost from the grave
A minorAm
I get to your closet door,
G+G
You where in there on the floor
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
I said "open up" and you said "go away!"
G+G FF
And you howled, and you howled
G+G FF
You howled all night long
Fsus4Fsus4
I pretended not to hear you
FF C majorC
I didn't know what was wrong!
A minorAm
When the next day came, well,
G+G
You were on your way
Fsus4Fsus4
You didn't take much,
FF
Just a couple of things
A minorAm
And you didn't leave a note,
G+G
But I knew you had to go
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
You had to go and try to find anything.
G+G FF
I just wish and I hope you'll be OK
G+G FF
I just wish and I hope you'll be OK
Fsus4Fsus4 FF C majorC
And I knew that you'd be back here again one day.
A minorAm
I got a call from the hospital
G+G Fsus4Fsus4 FF
They said you broke your arm hopping off a train
A minorAm G+G
You hadn't made it very far before you ran into bad luck
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
So I borrowed a car, I came and picked you up
G+G FF
I brought you home, I brought you home
G+G FF
I brought you home, I brought you home
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
With bruises on your face, that cast on your arm,
C majorC
And a cut across your nose.
A minorAm G+G
You said, "let me explain, I was on the wrong train
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
It was going the wrong way so I jumped off."
A minorAm
And I said, "that's insane,
G+G
You could have died out there that day
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
Why wouldn't you just wait until it stopped?"
G+G FF
And you howled, and you howled
G+G FF
Out in that cold field where you laid
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
You said what could I do,
C majorC
I was on the wrong train
A minorAm
So you made it to your feet,
G+G
You walked along those barren trees
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
You followed power lines until you found the road.
A minorAm
And the first car that came by,
G+G
They saw you and they stopped
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
It was a rabbit hunter and his friend the cop.
G+G FF G+G FF
And they dropped you off outside the hospital
Fsus4Fsus4
They gave you pills for the pain,
FF
They put that cast for your arm
C majorC
But the howling never stopped.
Fsus4Fsus4 FF
Because that wasn't what was wrong
A minorAm FF
No that wasn't what was wrong,
Fsus4Fsus4 A minorAm G+G
No that wasn't what was wrong with you at all.
FF
