I Left The Wolves Behind That Night
by The Tiger & Me


 DmDm       A augmentedA
I walked into a foreign town,
 DmDm        A augmentedA
A majorA land long left behind.
 DmDm       G minorGm
I sat beside an acacia tree,
   DmDm    A augmentedA   DmDm   A augmentedA
And a fountain of red wine.


 DmDm          A augmentedA
A majorA blind old man with a bible in his hand,
  DmDm           A augmentedA
Is struggling through the sand.
 DmDm         G minorGm
A augmentedA poor boy dressed in rags in tow,
  DmDm    A augmentedA   DmDm   A augmentedA
He leads him by the hand.

   DmDm        Bb majorBb
And I left the wolves behind that night,
 FF          A minorAm
I left them where they fell.
 DmDm         Bb majorBb
I slayed them one by one that night,
 FF        A minorAm
Beneath the old cathedral bell.

I sang:
DmDm         A augmentedA
 ladada, ladada, la da, dadada,
DmDm            A augmentedA
 ladada, ladada, dada da da la da
DmDm       A augmentedA       DmDm
 ladada, ladada, la da, da da da,
    A augmentedA
ladada, la da da.


  DmDm           A augmentedA
The old man took me by the hand,
    DmDm      A augmentedA
And he led me to the well.
    DmDm     G minorGm
I said: ?I am not a killer or a thief,
  DmDm       A augmentedA      DmDm    A augmentedA
But there are other pathways to Hell.?

     DmDm       A augmentedA
He said: ?Worry not about what has passed,
  DmDm       A augmentedA
And live without regret.
   DmDm     G minorGm
Think only of the moment now,
    DmDm      A augmentedA      DmDm    A augmentedA
You can sleep friend, when you?re dead.?


   DmDm        Bb majorBb
And I left the wolves behind that night,
 FF          A minorAm
I left them where they fell.
 DmDm         Bb majorBb
I slayed them one by one that night,
 FF        A minorAm
Beneath the old cathedral bell.

I sang:
DmDm         A augmentedA
 ladada, ladada, la da, dadada,
DmDm            A augmentedA
 ladada, ladada, dada da da la da
DmDm       A augmentedA       DmDm
 ladada, ladada, la da, da da da,
    A augmentedA
ladada, la da da.
