VERSE 1
F[E]our weeks ago, m[E7]e and [E]Emily Lou, we were [B]on a Northern England tour
L[B]ate one night, against advice, we went a' w[E]alkin' on the moors
She th[A]ought she saw a d[Am]oggy undern[E]eath the full moon's l[C#]ight
But wh[F#]en she tried to pet that doggy it g[B]ave her a nasty bite
Didn't th[E]ink too much [E7]abo[E]ut it 'till this m[B]orning when I read
There was s[B]ome kind of monster out last night and [E]eighteen folks were dead
My b[A]aby slept there n[Am]ext to me with bl[E]ood caked in her cl[C#]aws
T[F#]attered clothing, guts and entrails cl[B]enched between her jaws
CHORUS 2
[E]Cruel, cruel moon, please don't come out t[B]onight
[B]'Cause when you do my Emily Lou and me are gonna have a f[E]ight
They s[A]ay the full moon's meant for lovers b[E]ut you're gonna break my heart
'Cause wh[B]en you shine that baby of mine will
T[B]urn on me and rip my lungs out
A E E7 E E7 (RIFF)
And julienne my liver
Every t[E]ime you think y[E7]ou kn[E]ow someone that's wh[B]en they change again
S[B]o Mr. Moon, can you help me out of this d[E]oggone fix I'm in?
I l[A]ocked my baby [Am]in the basement and r[E]einforced the d[C#]oor
But wh[F#]en she's done lycanthropizin' she's g[B]onna settle up the score
My f[E]inger's on th[E7]e tr[E]igger of this g[B]un full of silver bullets
B[B]ut Mr. Moon, I love my Emily L[E]ou too much to pull it
My d[A]aylight's runnin' [Am]out soon and this d[E]oor won't hold for l[C#]ong
[F#]One last chance now, Mr. Moon won't you l[B]isten to my song?
[E]Cruel, cruel moon, please don't come out t[B]onight
[B]'Cause when you do my Emily Lou and me are gonna have a f[E]ight
They s[A]ay the full moon's meant for lovers b[E]ut you're gonna break my heart
'Cause wh[B]en you shine that baby of mine
Will p[B]ainfully transform just like that g[B]uy from An American Werewolf in L[B]ondon
Then she'll t[B]ear my eyeballs from their sockets
A Am E E7 E E7 (RIFF) Em
Then I won't see my baby anymore (rit.)
