E       A   A/B
[VERSE 1]
E
A funky old cat's just tryin' to make a livin'
                       A    A/G#
Singin' the blues in a dead end bar
E
A few is listenin', most is a-talkin'
                                      A   A/G#
There ain't a lotta action around the tip jar
E
The bartender is an old Navy vet
                               A   A/G#
He says the V.A. ain't worth a goddamn
E
The waitress' name is Maggie, but they call her Black Betty
                A   A/G#
Bam-ba-lam / Bam-ba-lam
E
Bikers wearin' colors got outstandin' warrants
                               A     A/G#
Are in a dark corner sellin' trucker speed
E
At the back door which ain't ever been opened
                              A    A/G#
A park decada criminal is dealin' weed
[CHORUS]
E
Ah ooooooooooooooh!
                         A   A/G#
The wolf is howlin' / At the door
E
Ah ooooooooooooooh!
                           A   A/G#
The old wolf really wants some more
[VERSE 3]
E
Now two old men in torn tanktops
                      A   A/G#
Are dancin' to a ginnery groove
E
Fallin' from grace and long forgotten
                                  A      A/G#
Showin' no remorse for their tear-drop tattoos
E
A blonde divorcee drinkin' Pabst Blue Ribbon
                             A     A/G#
Dresses as if she were Mamie Van Doren
E
Wants you to know that she gots some standards
                                     A     A/G#
She'll take little gifts / but she ain't whorin'
[CHORUS]
E
Ah ooooooooooooooh!
                         A   A/G#
The wolf is howlin' / At the door
E
Ah ooooooooooooooh!

The old wolf really wants some more
E
Ah ooooooooooooooh!

The wolf is howlin' / At the door
