September

[E]Cruel, cruel moon
Please don’t come out to[B]night
[B]‘Cause when you do, my Emily Lou
And me are gonna have a [E]fight

They [A]say the full moon’s meant for lovers
[E]But you’re gonna break my heart
[B]‘Cause when you shine
[B]That baby of mine
[B]Will turn into a werewolf
And rip [A]out my throat and [E]kill me

[E]Four weeks ago me and Emily Lou
We were on a Northern England [B]tour
[B]Late one night
[B]Against advice
We went a’ walkin’ on the [E]moors

[Am]She thought she saw a doggy
[E]Underneath the full moon’s [C#]light
But [F#]when she tried to pet that doggy
It [B]gave her a nasty bite

[Am]Didn’t think too much about it
‘Till this [E]morning when I [C#]read
[F#]There was some kind of monster out last night
And [B]eighteen folks were dead

[Am]My baby slept there next to me
With [E]blood caked in her [C#]claws
[F#]Tattered clothing, guts and entrails
[B]Clenched between her jaws

[E]Cruel, cruel moon
Please don’t come out to[B]night
[B]‘Cause when you do, my Emily Lou
And me are gonna have a [E]fight

They [A]say the full moon’s meant for lovers
[E]But you’re gonna break my heart
[B]‘Cause when you shine
[B]That baby of mine will
[B]Turn on me and rip my lungs out
And [A]julienne my [E]liver

([B] [A] [E])

[E]Every time you think you know someone
That’s when they change [B]again
So [B]Mr. Moon, can you help me out
Of this doggone fix I’m [E]in?

[Am]I locked my baby in the basement
And [E]reinforced the [C#]door
[F#]But when she’s done lycanthropizing
She’s gonna [B]settle up the score

[E]My finger’s on the trigger
Of this gun full of silver [B]bullets
But Mr. Moon, I love my Emily [E]Lou
Too much to [E]pull it

[Am]My daylight’s runnin’ out soon
And this [E]door won’t hold for [C#]long
[F#]One last chance now, Mr. Moon
Won’t you [B]listen to my song?

[E]Cruel, cruel moon
Please don’t come out to[B]night
[B]‘Cause when you do, my Emily Lou
And me are gonna have a [E]fight

[A]They say the full moon’s meant for lovers
[E]But you’re gonna break my heart
[B]‘Cause when you shine
[B]That baby of mine
[B]Will painfully transform
[B]Just like that guy from An [B]American Werewolf in London
[B]Then she’ll tear my eyeballs from their sockets
Then [A]I won’t see my [Am]baby any[E]more
