[Em] The girl he met was out-of-sight though she walked the streets at night
[Em] He didn't mind it she seemed as happy as a song
And if anything was wrong he didn't find it
[Em] They used to laugh and dance and drink [Em] and not ever did he think of a payday
[Em] No matter where they ever were every day he spent with her was a hey-day
[Em] He was a Steppenwolf, [E] a lost and [A] lonely one
[C] He was a [D] Steppenwolf, forever on the run
[Em] He was a Steppenwolf, [E] with a for[A] gotten past
[C] He was a [D] Steppenwolf, who found a love at last. He was a [Em] Steppenwolf
[Em] One day she said "It's time you knew that I started up with you
[Em] For just one reason you're gonna do just what I want
[Em] 'cause there's something that I want and I ain't teasing
[Em] My life is empty all around nothing that I ever found
[Em] Would fulfill me so for a while I'll be with you
[Em] When I say that we're through. You must kill me!"
[Em] He was a Steppenwolf, [E] He cried "It [A] isn't fair"
[C] He was a [D] Steppenwolf, "You know how much I care"
[Em] He was a Steppenwolf, [E] She said "This [A] is the deal"

[Em] He was a Steppenwolf, [E] a lost and [A] lonely one
