The Tiger and Me - I Left The Wolves Behind That Night

      I Left The Wolves Behind That Night 
by The Tiger & Me

 
  Dm            A
I walked into a foreign town, 
  Dm               A
A land long left behind.
  Dm             Gm
I sat beside an acacia tree, 
      Dm       A      Dm     A
And a fountain of red wine. 


  Dm                   A
A blind old man with a bible in his hand, 
   Dm                     A
Is struggling through the sand. 
  Dm                  Gm
A poor boy dressed in rags in tow, 
   Dm        A      Dm      A
He leads him by the hand. 


      Dm                Bb
And I left the wolves behind that night, 
  F                    Am
I left them where they fell. 
  Dm                 Bb
I slayed them one by one that night, 
  F               Am
Beneath the old cathedral bell. 


        Dm              A
I sang: “Ladada, ladada, la da, dadada, 
Dm                 A
 Ladada, ladada, dada da da la da,
Dm              Gm            Dm 
 Ladada, ladada, la da, da da da, 
        A      Dm
 Ladada, la da da. 

 
    Dm              A
The old man took me by the hand, 
       Dm            A
And he led me to the well.
            Dm          Gm
And I said: “I am not a killer or a thief, 
    Dm              A           Dm        A
But there are other pathways to Hell.” 


              Dm              A   
And he said: “Worry not about what has passed, 
    Dm             A
And live without regret. 
      Dm          Gm
Think only of the moment now, 
        Dm            A           Dm       A
You can sleep friend, when you're dead.” 


      Dm                Bb
And I left the wolves behind that night, 
  F                    Am
I left them where they fell. 
  Dm                 Bb
I slayed them one by one that night, 
  F               Am
Beneath the old cathedral bell. 		[x2]


        Dm              A
I sang: “Ladada, ladada, la da, dadada, 
Dm                 A
 Ladada, ladada, dada da da la da,
Dm              Gm            Dm 
 Ladada, ladada, la da, da da da, 
        A      Dm
 Ladada, la da da.				[x2]
