INTRO


MAIN THEME x 4


VERSE 1 (with MAIN THEME)
It was many years ago now
But I really can't be sure
Because when it all began now
I heard a knock upon my door

It's the wolfman's brother, the wolfman's brother

NO CHORD
Coming down on me

That's when I handed it to Liz
She said it isn't who it should be
If it wasn't who it is

It's the wolfman's brother, the wolfman's brother

NO CHORD
Coming down on me

So meaningless excitement
Smooth and tunnel sound
It's like a cross between a hurricane
And a ship that's run aground


                  CHORUS
It's the wolfman's brother, the wolfman's brother
It's the wolfman's brother, the wolfman's brother
It's the wolfman's brother, the wolfman's brother

NO CHORD
Coming down on, coming down on me
