The Hungry Wolf

by John Doe and Exene Cervenka

"Under the Big Black Sun", Elektra, 1982

"Live at the Whiskey A Go Go On The Fabulous Subset Strip", Elektra, 1988

The main riff is a bottom-string thing that goes like this:

E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

D|-2--2------------------------2--2--------------------------------------------

A|-0--0------------------------0--0--------------------------------------------

E|-------3--0---3--3--0--3--0--------3--0--3--3--0--3--0-----------------------

Or something like that. I don't know how to convey the rhythm, but if you

know the song you'll get it.

(riff) C B

I am a hungry wolf and run endlessly with my mate

B C B C B

I see the gutter fed in the foolish, outrun and kill the strong

D E

At daybreak I run, awake to who follows me

(riff)

I roam, I roam

(riff) C B

I am a hungry wolf, and run endlessly with my mate

C B C B

Welcome to dripping jaws, the altar of your death

D E

At daybreak I run, ready to tear up the world

(riff)

I roam, I roam

(bridge)

E C

The hungry wolf, she stares from the hill

E C B C B

At villagers around the fire

G B

She loves her mate, as he loves her

E (riff)

And they live together for life

(riff) C B

I am a hungry wolf, and I run endlesly with my mate

C B

Look across the street, my friend

C B

We're waiting for you to slow down

D E

At daybreak I roam, eyes in the back of my head

(riff)

I roam, I roam
