[Am]

[Verse 1]
You can [D]see [Am]my eyes are lu[D]pine
The [Am]liquid golden [D]fires [Am]glar[D]e
My [Am]loping [D]walk, [Am]my slinking [D]spine
[Am]Are signs that there is
something there
[B]The way my nostrils [G]flare for odors
[Am]The way my ears prick up for [F]sound
My [Am]hair's electrically aware
Tells me things for miles [D]around[Am]
I am a man-wolf, I I am a wolf man
I have half a canine [D]mind
[Am]I have half the mind of man
I am neither of one kind
[B]Maybe it was only an [G]hallucination
[Am]I'm no stranger to such things
[F]I m[B]ade a thorough investig[G]ation
The [Am]image had a power that [F]clings
[Am]To my jaded im[G]agination
My brain has [F]found the bells it [E]rings[Esus4]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Esus4][E][D][Esus4][E][D][E][D][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Like a wolf my willful loafing
My languishing alone in my lair
Where you will never hear me laughing
I'm half in love with dark and despair
The [B]Moon's a howling,
[G]mouth of mercury
Quick[Am]silver quivering in [F]the sky
It [Am]echoes like a cave of chromium
That'll vacuum up my soul when I die
I am a wolf man, I am a man-wolf

[Verse 3]
A [Am]A freak, a fiend, a figment of mind
A species of the steppes and [D]city[Am]

[Verse 4]
I am neither of one [D]kind
Dis[B]solving in the slender of
this [G]desolation
[Am]The forest has been filled by a fo[F]g
Ex[B]actly a description of my [G]isolation
I [Am]made a note of it in my lo[F]g
[Am]To the secret of a[G]ll creation
[F]I follow my own trail like a [E]dog

[Verse 5]
[Am]I am a wolf man who walks
alone in the gas lamp
[G]Shadows of [Am]the streets at night
I am a man-wolf upright
upright on two feet in the
City dressed somberly as [D]a man
[Am]I am a wolf ma[D]n un[Am]der
skies heavy with snow
[Dm]My e[Am]yes are convex lenses
of ebony embedded
In amber
I am a man-wolf
The The fat bourgeois and
his dapple ganger
Are buried in their solid glare
Twin specimens of insect set for display
I am a man-wolf,
the the man in me would kill the [D]wolf
[Am]I am a wolf man,
the wolf in me would eat the man
I am a wolf man,
who despises the striving of common men
Who sees them at work, at their daily tasks
At factories and office desk
Who watches them at evening,
elbows lift at tavern tables,
Heads lolling in song
Ich weiss nicht wat ik
[D]zag[Am]en zollen

[Verse 6]
I saw a neon sign reflected
in a pool of liquid sky
It was not what I expected I
was only walking by
[B]The sign said "to the ma[G]gic theater"
[Am]It is not for everyo[F]ne
[Am]It is but for madmen only,
the first performance has begun
I looked up to see that notice
where the lights were
Shining [D]from
[Am]Nothing but blank wall was there
And their reflection too was gone
[B]Maybe it was only an [G]hallucination
[Am]I'm no stranger to such things
[F]I m[B]ade a thorough in
[G]vestigation
[Am]The image had a power that clings
[F]To [Am]my jaded imag[G]ination
My [F]brain has found the bell it [E]rings
