Werewolf

[A]Mama said,'There's something weird about [D]Billy..
I [A]looked in his room, his bed wasn't slept in at
all [E]last night.'
But [A]Papa said, 'Ah, now, Mama, don't you go talking [D]silly.
He's just a [G]young boy, he's just [D]sowing his wild oats..
and [A]that's all right.

But [A]Mama said, 'No, there's something real strange about
my [D]Billy.
The [A]farmer down the road said he lost a few of his [E]sheep

last night.
I know he's my [A]own flesh and blood but he makes my blood
run [D]chilly..
Cause I [G]saw him from my window and [D]he was on the hill
just [A]screaming at the moonlight.

[E]Is it any wonder we hate to see the [A]sun go down?
And [E]is it any wonder we hate to see the [A]full moon coming around?

[A]So, Papa said, 'I guess there's only one thing to do about [D]Billy.
[A]Hand me down my gun, son..bring along that silver [E]dinner bell.
But [A]Mama said, 'Papa, I beg you, don't [D]kill him..
Cause I [G]just couldn't bear to [D]think about my baby in [A]Hell.

[A]But he went down to the blacksmith, got him out of bed and said,
'[D]Get your fire hot...oh, [A]shut up your shutters and close down
the doors..We're gonna [E]need all the heat you got.
Cause I [A]want you to melt my silver bell down to a [D]single shot.
I got a [G]job to do and I [D]got to get it done before the [A]sun comes up.'

[E]Is it any wonder we hate to see the sun go [A]down?

[A]Then we heard a shot and I said, 'Papa [D]got 'im.'
Then we [A]heard a scream and Mama smiled and said, '[E]Betcha Billy got him."
But when I [A]lifted up my eyes, there was Papa in the doorway [D]staring

at the floor.
And my [G]big brother Billy never [D]did come home, no [A]more.

[E]Is it any wonder we hate to see the [A]sun go down?
And [E]is it any wonder we hate to see the [A]full moon coming around?
