🎶 He Was A Steppenwolf

[Em]Come on and listen to my tale. It's a strange and sorry tale
[Em]That's gonna rock you about a man, the drifting kind
[Em]Let the story [Em]now unwind. It's gonna shock you
[Em]Some people said he was a ghost wouldn't wanna be his host
[Em]Or just to meet him and if he ever came their way
[Em]They'd be sticks and stones, I'd say. That would grieve him

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

[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]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"
[C]He was a [D]Steppenwolf, He saw this was for real. He was a [Em]Steppenwolf

[C]He was a [D]Steppenwolf, and with a smile she died
[Em]He was a Steppenwolf, [E]a lost and [A]lonely one
[C]He was a [D]Steppenwolf, forever on the run. He was a [Em]Steppenwolf
