Werewolves Of London

Words & Music:

Warren Zevon

 

You can also sub the major bVII (C) chord for the V (A) chord.  Either sounds good.

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand

Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.

He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's

Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein.

Ah-wooooo!  Werewolves of London.  Ah-wooooo!

Ah-wooooo!  Werewolves of London.  Ah-wooooo!

 

If you hear him howling around your kitchen door,

Better not let him in

Little old lady got mutilated late last night

Werewolves of London again.

Ah-wooooo!  Werewolves of London.  Ah-wooooo!

Ah-wooooo!  Werewolves of London.  Ah-wooooo!

 

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent,

Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair

Better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out, Jim.

I'd like to meet his tailor.

Ah-wooooo!  Werewolves of London.  Ah-wooooo!

Ah-wooooo!  Werewolves of London.  Ah-wooooo!

 

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen

Doing the Werewolves of London.

I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen

Doing the Werewolves of London.

I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.

His hair was perfect.

Ah-wooooo!  Werewolves of London.  Ah-wooooo!

Ah-wooooo!  Werewolves of London.  Ah-wooooo!

Draw blood!
