Cruel Cruel Moon chords by Paul And Storm

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
