Cruel, Cruel Moon Lyrics

Capo: 4
RIFF (I find the 7th fret is easier to hit than the 2nd)

Last time, play an Em instead of the last E
Cruel, cruel moon, please don't come out tonight
'Cause when you do my Emily Lou and me are gonna have a fight
They say the full moon's meant for lovers but you're gonna break my heart
'Cause when you shine that baby of mine
Will turn into a werewolf
And rip out my throat and kill me
Four weeks ago, me and Emily Lou, we were on a Northern England tour
Late one night, against advice, we went a' walkin' on the moors
She thought she saw a doggy underneath the full moon's light
But when she tried to pet that doggy it gave her a nasty bite
Didn't think too much about it 'till this morning when I read
There was some kind of monster out last night and eighteen folks were dead
My baby slept there next to me with blood caked in her claws
Tattered clothing, guts and entrails clenched between her jaws
Cruel, cruel moon, please don't come out tonight
'Cause when you do my Emily Lou and me are gonna have a fight
They say the full moon's meant for lovers but you're gonna break my heart
'Cause when you shine that baby of mine will
Turn on me and rip my lungs out
A E E7 E E7 (RIFF)
And julienne my liver
Every time you think you know someone that's when they change again
So Mr. Moon, can you help me out of this doggone fix I'm in?
I locked my baby in the basement and reinforced the door
But when she's done lycanthropizin' she's gonna settle up the score
My finger's on the trigger of this gun full of silver bullets
But Mr. Moon, I love my Emily Lou too much to pull it
My daylight's runnin' out soon and this door won't hold for long
One last chance now, Mr. Moon won't you listen to my song?
Cruel, cruel moon, please don't come out tonight
'Cause when you do my Emily Lou and me are gonna have a fight
They say the full moon's meant for lovers but you're gonna break my heart
'Cause when you shine that baby of mine
Will painfully transform just like that guy from An American Werewolf in London
Then she'll tear my eyeballs from their sockets
A Am E E7 E E7 (RIFF) Em
Then I won't see my baby anymore (rit.)
