Werewolf:Five Man Electrical Band. #28 in Canada and #64 USA in 1974. #1. A D Mama said,'There's something weird about Billy.. A I looked in his room, his bed wasn't slept in at E all last night.' A D But Papa said, 'Ah, now, Mama, don't you go talking silly. G D He's just a young boy, he's just sowing his wild oats.. A and that's all right. #2. A But Mama said, 'No, there's something real strange about D my Billy. A E The farmer down the road said he lost a few of his sheep last night. A I know he's my own flesh and blood but he makes my blood D run chilly.. G D Cause I saw him from my window and he was on the hill A just screaming at the moonlight. CHORUS: E A Is it any wonder we hate to see the sun go down? E A And is it any wonder we hate to see the full moon coming around? #3. A D So, Papa said, 'I guess there's only one thing to do about Billy. A E Hand me down my gun, son..bring along that silver dinner bell. A D But Mama said, 'Papa, I beg you, don't kill him.. G D A Cause I just couldn't bear to think about my baby in Hell. #4. A But he went down to the blacksmith, got him out of bed and said, D A 'Get your fire hot...oh, shut up your shutters and close down E the doors..We're gonna need all the heat you got. A D Cause I want you to melt my silver bell down to a single shot. G D A I got a job to do and I got to get it done before the sun comes up.' CHORUS: E A Is it any wonder we hate to see the sun go down? #5. A D Then we heard a shot and I said, 'Papa got 'im.' A E Then we heard a scream and Mama smiled and said, 'Betcha Billy got him." A D But when I lifted up my eyes, there was Papa in the doorway staring at the floor. G D A And my big brother Billy never did come home, no more. CHORUS: E A Is it any wonder we hate to see the sun go down? E A And is it any wonder we hate to see the full moon coming around? A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
