VERSE 1
 E               E7    E                  B
Four weeks ago, me and Emily Lou, we were on a Northern England tour
 B                                          E
Late one night, against advice, we went a' walkin' on the moors
      A                Am         E                     C#
She thought she saw a doggy underneath the full moon's light
      F#                                 B
But when she tried to pet that doggy it gave her a nasty bite

         E            E7 E                 B
Didn't think too much about it 'till this morning when I read
           B                                      E
There was some kind of monster out last night and eighteen folks were dead
    A                Am               E                  C#
My baby slept there next to me with blood caked in her claws
 F#                                    B
Tattered clothing, guts and entrails clenched between her jaws

CHORUS 2
E                                         B
Cruel, cruel moon, please don't come out tonight
B                                                        E
'Cause when you do my Emily Lou and me are gonna have a fight
      A                                    E
They say the full moon's meant for lovers but you're gonna break my heart
         B
'Cause when you shine that baby of mine will
 B
Turn on me and rip my lungs out
     A           E   E7  E  E7  [RIFF]
And julienne my liver

       E              E7   E                   B
Every time you think you know someone that's when they change again
 B                                        E
So Mr. Moon, can you help me out of this doggone fix I'm in?
   A             Am                   E              C#
I locked my baby in the basement and reinforced the door
      F#                                   B
But when she's done lycanthropizin' she's gonna settle up the score

    E            E7  E              B
My finger's on the trigger of this gun full of silver bullets
 B                             E
But Mr. Moon, I love my Emily Lou too much to pull it
    A                 Am                 E                   C#
My daylight's runnin' out soon and this door won't hold for long
F#                                       B
One last chance now, Mr. Moon won't you listen to my song?

E                                         B
Cruel, cruel moon, please don't come out tonight
B                                                        E
'Cause when you do my Emily Lou and me are gonna have a fight
      A                                    E
They say the full moon's meant for lovers but you're gonna break my heart
         B
'Cause when you shine that baby of mine
      B                                  B                                B
Will painfully transform just like that guy from An American Werewolf in London
             B
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.)
