Dire Wolf
Grateful Dead

A      E                        G	            D
In the timbers of Fennario, the wolves are running 'round
D	                                                   E
The winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground
E            D	 E        A                D
Don't murder me, I beg of you don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me

  E                              G                 D
I sat down to my supper, 'twas a bottle of red whiskey
D                                             A                F#m
I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me
             E   D        A                D
Don't murder me, I beg of you don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me

G                 E              A       G         D
When I awoke, the dire wolf, six hundred pounds of sin
D	                                           E
Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in"
E            D   E        A                F#m
Don't murder me, I beg of you don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me

F#m                 E                A        G     D
The wolf came in, I got my cards, we sat down for a game
D                                                               E
I cut my deck to the queen of spades but the cards were all the same
E            D   E        A                F#m
Don't murder me, I beg of you don't murder me
E      D	    A
Please don't murder me
 
       E                         G                D
In the backwash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire
D	                                                      E
The dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing 'round the fire
E            D   E        A                D
Don't murder me, I beg of you don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me
A            E   D        A                D
Don't murder me, I beg of you don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me (No, no, no!)
A            E   D        A                D
Don't murder me, I beg of you don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me
