[Verse 1]
Come on and listen to my [Em]tale
It's a strange and sorry tale
That's gonna rock you
About a man, the drifting kind
Let the story now unwind

[Verse 2]
It's gonna shock you
[Em]
Some people said he was a ghost
Wouldn't [Bm]want [Em]to be his host
Or just to meet him
And if he ever came their way
They'd be sticks and stones, I'd say
[Bm]That [Em]would grieve him
[D]He was

[Verse 3]
[Em]a st[G]eppenwolf, a
lost and [Em]lonely [Am]one
[C]He was a s[D]teppenwolf, forever
on the run
He [Em]was a[G] steppenwolf, with
a for[A]gotten pas[C]t
He [D]was a steppenwolf, who
found a love at last
He [Em]was a[A][Am][Em][Bm][Em]

[Em]steppenwolf

[Verse 4]
The girl he met was out- of- sight
Though she walked the streets at night
He didn't mind it
She seemed as happy as a song
And if anything was wrong

[Verse 5]
He didn't find it
[Em]
They used to laugh and dance and drink
And not [Bm]ever [Em]did he think of a payday
No matter where they ever were
Every day he spent with her was a hey- day
[D]He was

[Verse 6]
[Em]a st[G]eppenwolf, and
not [Am]a handsome man
[C]He was[D] a steppenwolf, who
didn't know her plan
He [Em]was a[G] steppenwolf, not
very [Am]bright at all
[C]He was[D] a steppenwolf, just
riding for a fall
He [Em]was a[Am][Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em][D]
[Bm][Em][Bm][Em]
[Bm]step[Em]penwolf

[Verse 7]
One day she said "it's [Em]time you knew
That I started up with you
For just one reason
You're gonna [Bm]do ju[Em]st what I want
'cause there's [Bm]something [Em]that I want
And I ain't [Bm]teasing[Em]
My life is empty all around
Nothing [D]that [Em]I ever found
Would fulfill me
So for a [Bm]while [Em]I'll be with you
When [Bm]I say [Em]that we're through
You must kill me!"

[Verse 8]
He was [Em]a ste[G]ppenwolf, he
cried "it [Am]isn't fair"
[C]He was[D] a steppenwolf, "you
know how much I care"
He [Em]was a[G] steppenwolf, she
said "this [A]is the deal"
He [C]was [D]a steppenwolf, he saw
this was for real
He was [Em]a steppenwolf

[Verse 9]
[A]He [Em]was a ste[G]ppenwolf, they
[Em]spent a long [Am]last night
He [C]was [D]a steppenwolf, and
with a smile she died
He [Em]was a[G] steppenwolf, a
lost and lonely one
[C]He was[D] a steppenwolf, forever on the run
He [Em]was a steppenwolf
