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
