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