Am Lit

tle girl of

G lit

tle

Am wit

,

Stretch your little

Dm mind

a bit.

My

Am eyes

are large to

G pierce

the night;

My

Am teeth

are long and

G sharp

and

Am white

.

The

Am woods

man sought to

G end

my life

With

Am wolfs

bane

G and

a

E silver

Am knife

.

His

Dm throat

is

C torn

from

G ear

to

E ear

,

The

Am bet

ter not to

G in

ter

Am fere

.

Chorus:

For  Dm I  am the  Am old  one Of  Dm fur , flesh, and  E bone . And  Dm I  am the  Am cold  one You  G must  face a Am lone .

Your mother did her very best
To train you for this final test,
Then sent you off to Grandma’s bed,
The full moon waning overhead.
You’ve basked in Mother’s care enough;
Now prove to me you have the stuff.
And if you fail, you won’t go back,
For this is how we thin the pack.

(Chorus)

The secret that your blood conceals
Is not for those whose chat reveals
The whereabouts of all their kin
To strangers with a wolfish grin.
Now see me change before your eyes
As I cast off my human guise.
Your caution now is far too late.
Granddaughter, fool, come meet your fate!
