BOY WHO CRIED WOLF                      The Style Council


This is a song from the second album "Our Favourite Shop" of
The Style Council. I already worked out the chords a few years ago,
but maybe someone is interested in, although it is a quiet
old one, and The Style Council doesn't exist anymore.

INTRO

Bm7 Bm6 G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79


Bm7                      Bm6
  As the rain comes down,  upon this sad  sweet earth

G^7                       F#(#5)7   F#79
  I lie awake at night and - think about me

Bm7                       Bm6
  All those usual things,   like what a fool I've been

G^7                       F#(#5)7  F#79          Bm7 Bm6 F#(#5)7 F#79
  I curse the awfull way  - that I let you slip away.

Bm7                          Bm6
  For what was forged in love,  is now cooling down

G^7                       F#(#5)7              F#79
  With only myself to blame   for playing that stupid game

Bm7                     Bm6
  I thought I need only call and you would run

G^7                                  F#(#5)7     F#79
  But that day you never showed honey   -   Well I sure learned.

G^7                         D^7
  That it seemes I need you more each day

G^7                        D^7
  Heaven knows why that it goes that way,

           Bm7                  Bm6
  Now it's far too late - and I lost this time,

G^7      F#(#5)7   F#79  Bm7   G^7      F#(#5)7   F#79  Bm7
  Like a Boy  who  cried wolf,   like a boy  who  cried wolf.


G^7                   D^7
  And yes I know it's far too late

     G^7          D^7
  To ever win you back

     G^7                 D^7
  No tale of nightmare's at my gate

        C^7               G^7          F#(#5)7 F#79 Bm7
  Could make you turn, my lost concern.

Bm7                            Bm6
  And now the night falls down,  upon my selfish soul

G^7                      F#(#5)7      F#79
  I sit alone and wonder,   where did I  go  wrong?

Bm7                      Bm6
  It always worked before   you kept the wolf from my door

G^7                                  F#(#5)7   F#79
  But one day you never showed honey,   now I'm not so sure


G^7                        D^7
  That it seems I need you more each day

G^7                        D^7
  Heaven knows why that it goes that way,

           Bm7                    Bm6
  Now it's far too late, and I've lost this time

G^7      F#(#5)7   F#79  Bm7   G^7      F#(#5)7   F#79  Bm7
  Like a Boy  who  cried wolf,   like a boy  who  cried wolf.

Bm7 Bm6 G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79  -  Bm7
