[Intro]
| N.C. | % | % | %
 (percussion only)


[Verse]
N.C.
Milwaukee man led a fairly decent 
life
       N.C.
Made a fairly decent living
      N.C.
Had a fairly decent wife
N.C.
  She killed him ... ah, sushi knife
N.C.
Now they’re shopping
      N.C.
For a fairly decent afterlife


[Chorus]
[ D5    D    Dsus2 D5 ]
  Oooh, ooh, ooh,  ooh
[ G     Aaug D ]
  Oooh, ooh, ooh
    N.C.
The werewolf is coming
[ D5    D    Dsus2 D5 ]
  Oooh, ooh, ooh,  ooh
[ D5 ]
  Oooh, ooh, ooh


[Verse]
    N.C.
The fact is most obits are mixed 
reviews
N.C.
Life is a lottery
  N.C.
A lot of people lose
        N.C.
And the winners, the grinners
     N.C.
Continúa después del anuncio
With money-colored eyes
N.C.
Eat all the nuggets
          N.C.
Then they order extra fries


[Chorus]
    N.C.
The werewolf is coming (extra fries)
    N.C.
The werewolf is coming, you know
    D5
The werewolf’s coming
    D5
The werewolf’s coming
         D5                      D7
Yes, the werewolf is coming, Joe


[Middle 8]
G
 I hear her howling, prowling on the
 hill
    D5
The werewolf’s coming, Bill


[Verse]
N.C.
Ignorance and arrogance
    N.C.
The national debate
N.C.
Put the fight in Vegas
         N.C.
That’s a billion-dollar gate
D5
Revenue: Pay-per-view
N.C.
Should be pretty healthy
    D5
The usual deductions
        N.C.
Then it all goes to the wealthy


[Chorus]
D5
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
          N.C.
Still the werewolf’s coming
D5
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
          N.C.
Yeah, the werewolf’s coming


[Verse]
N.C.
 I’m not complaining
         N.C.
Just the opposite, my friend
N.C.
 I know it’s raining
          N.C.
But we’re coming to the end of the 
rainbow
    N.C.
The lying and the spying are through
N.C.
 Oh! You don’t know me?
N.C.
 O.K. I don’t know you, too


[Chorus]
    D5
The werewolf’s coming, werewolf’s 
coming, oh
    D5
The werewolf’s coming, a werewolf’s 
coming
    D5
The werewolf is coming, Joe


[Middle 8]
G
 I hear her howling, prowling on the
 hill
    D5
The werewolf’s coming, Bill


[Verse]
             N.C.
You’d better stock up on water
N.C.
Canned-goods off the shelves
    N.C.
And loot some for the old folks
      N.C.
Can’t loot for themselves
    N.C.
The doorbell’s ringing
N.C.
Could be the elves
         N.C.
But it’s probably the werewolf
     N.C.
It’s quarter to twelve


[Bridge]
                       D D
And when it’s midnight
        G
And the wolf bites
       D    D
It’s a full moon
                   G
She really got the appetite
