Chords

[Verse 1]
 C       D     C         D
You can see my eyes are lupine

     C             D      C   D
The liquid golden fires glare

    C      D         C        D
My loping walk, my slinking spine

     C           D       C          D
Are signs that there is something there

     B                G
The way my nostrils flare for odour

     A                        F
The way my ears prick up for sound

    C       D        C   D
My hair's electrically aware

 C                   D      C    D
Tells me things for miles around
[Chorus]
C       D        C       D
I am a man-wolf, I am a wolf man

C       D      C      D
I have half a canine mind

C       D        C         D
I have half the mind of a man

C            D       C   D
I am neither of one kind

B                        G
Maybe it was only an hallucination

A                         F
I'm no stranger to such things

B                    G
I made a thorough investigation

A                            F
The image had a power that clings

A             G
To my jaded imagination

     F                           E    E    D    E    D
My brain has found the bells it rings
[Verse 2]
C       D       C      D
Like a wolf my wilful loafing

    C            D          C   D
My languishing alone in my lair

       C        D     C       D
Where you will never hear me laughing

     C                 D           C   D
I'm half in love with dark and despair

     B                G
The Moon's a howling mouth of mercury

      A                        F
Quicksilver quivering in the sky

   C       D      C         D
It echoes like a cave of chromium

         C            D           C   D
That'll vacuum up my soul when I die
[Chorus]
C       D        C       D
I am a wolf man, I am a man-wolf

    C       D        C          D
A freak, a fiend, a figment of mind

    C     D        C          D
A species of the steppes and city

C            D       C   D
I am neither of one kind

    B                                G
Dissolving in the splendour of this desolation

     A                           F
The forest has been filled by a fog

  B                         G
Exactly a description of my isolation

   A                       F
I made a note of it in my log

A                G
To the secret of all creation

   F                          E    E    D    E    D
I follow my own trail like a dog
[Verse 3]
C        D    C       D
I saw a neon sign reflected

C             D       C  D
in a pool of liquid sky

C       D       C    D
It was not what I expected

C           D       C  D
I was only walking by

     C         D       C      D
The sign said "To the Magic Theatre"

 C      D      C    D
"It is not for everyone"

 C      D       C     D
"It is but for madmen only"

      C                 D     C   D
"The first performance has begun"
[Outro]
C        D      C        D
I looked up to see that notice

  C        D            C       D
where the lights were shining from

 C       D         C         D
Nothing but blank wall was there

      C               D       C   D
and their reflection too was gone

B                        G
Maybe it was only an hallucination

A                         F
I'm no stranger to such things

B                    G
I made a thorough investigation

A                            F
The image had a power that clings

A             G
To my jaded imagination

     F                          E    E    D    E    D
My brain has found the bell it rings
