Key: D

Intro:

D  G  D  G

Verse 1:
   D
He was born in Jacksonville,
 G
she was born in Vail
     D
They met one night in a Dallas bar
      A
That sold good Texas Ale
      D
She watched him throwin’ darts alone
        G
In the corner of the room
      D
The raven cries and the rooster crows
     G          A           D
The lone wolf howls at the moon

Verse 2:
      D
The night grew late and the crowd thinned out
        G
It was almost time to go
         D
They’d talked all night despite the fact
       A
They liked to be alone
       D
They hatched a plan to rob the joint
     G
As romance started to bloom
     D
The raven cries and the pointer points
      G        A            D
The lone wolf howls at the moon

Chorus:
     G                          D
The lone wolf’s runnin' in the pale moonlight
        A                 D
And he rides this trail alone
         G                    D
There’s danger comin' in the middle of the night
          A               D
When the hungry spirits groan
          G                          D
When the lone wolf’s sayin’ that he wants a friend
         A              D
And he reaches out his hand
  G                          D
Don’t stop runnin’ ‘til you find the end
        A               D
Of his dry and barren land

Instrumental:
G   D   A   D   G   D   A   D

Verse 3:
      D
The clock struck two and they crossed the floor
 G
No one else was there
       D
They turned around when he locked the door
            A
There was darkness in her stare
      D
She pulled a gun and a shot rang out
   G
A man had met his doom
      D
The raven cries and the dead man shouts
     G         A             D
The lone wolf howls at the moon

Verse 4:
    D
She filled her bag with the evening’s take
       G
While he kept watch outside
      D
The minutes passed and he felt the weight
    A
of what he realized
        D
She'd vanished like a wisp of smoke
         G
from a westbound train at noon
       D
The rooster crows and the bull frog croaks
     G         A           D
The lone wolf howls at the moon

Chorus:
     G                          D
The lone wolf’s runnin' in the pale moonlight
        A                 D
And he rides this trail alone
         G                    D
There’s danger comin' in the middle of the night
          A               D
When the hungry spirits groan
          G                          D
When the lone wolf’s sayin’ that he wants a friend
         A              D
And he reaches out his hand

Of his dry and barren land

Verse 5:
    D
He found himself in South Fort Worth
 G
Travelin’ on his own
     D
A betrayal that would shake the earth
      A
And leave him all alone
    D
El Lobo un solitario
    G
He sings his simple tune
      D
The raven cries and the cool wind blows
     G         A            D
The lone wolf howls at the moon

When the lone wolf’s sayin’ that he wants a friend
         A              D
And he reaches out his hand
