Werewolves Of London - Warren Zevon
Tabbed & Chorded By: Da Tickler

104 bpm on an Acoustic Piano with Mild Reverb.

Simple song that also plays well mixed with Lynyrd Skynyrd's
'Sweet Home Alabama' (same bpm & basic chord pattern) like
'Kid Rock' did if you're looking to extend cover song time.
You can switch back & forth between the verses or chorus.

INTRO/VERSE/CHORUS/LEAD BREAK:  Play this line TWICE each for INTRO,
------------------------------  VERSE & CHORUS (8 Measures Each & 
                                1st 2 measures repeat.)

VERSE #1:

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand…
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.
He was lookin' for the place called Lee-Ho Fuchs…
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein.

Ah-hoooooo! Werewolves of London.
Ah-hoooooo!
Ah-hoooooo! Werewolves of London.
Ah-hoooooo!

VERSE #2:

You hear him howlin' around your kitchen door…
Ya' better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night…
Werewolves of London again.

Ah-hoooooo! Werewolves of London.
Ah-hoooooo!
Ah-hoooooo! Werewolves of London.
Ah-hoooooo!

- LEAD BREAK - 16 Measures

VERSE #3:

He's the hairy handed gent who ran amok in Kent…
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair.
You better stay away from him. He'll rip your lungs out, Jim.
Huh, I'd like to meet his taylor.

Ah-hoooooo! Werewolves of London.
Ah-hoooooo!
Ah-hoooooo! Werewolves of London.
Ah-hoooooo!

VERSE #4:

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin' with the Queen…
Doin' the werewolves of London.
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walkin' with the Queen…
Uhh… Doin' the werewolves of London.
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vic's…
His hair was perfect. Nuh…

Ah-hoooooo!
Werewolves of London.
Ah-hoooooo!
Werewolves of London.
