[VERSE]
N.C.
Milwaukee man led a fairly decent life
Made a N.C.
fairly decent living
Had a N.C.
fairly decent wife
N.C.
She killed him ... ah, sushi knife
N.C.
Now they’re shopping
For a N.C.
fairly decent afterlife

[CHORUS]
[ [D5] [D] [Dsus2] [D5] ]
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[ [G] [Aaug] [D] ]
Oooh, ooh, ooh
The N.C.
werewolf is coming
[ [D5] [D] [Dsus2] [D5] ]
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[ D5 ]
Oooh, ooh, ooh

[VERSE]
The N.C.
fact is most obits are mixed reviews
N.C.
Life is a lottery
A N.C.
lot of people lose
And the N.C.
winners, the grinners
With N.C.
money-colored eyes
N.C.
Eat all the nuggets
Then they N.C.
order extra fries

[CHORUS]
The N.C.
werewolf is coming (extra fries)
The N.C.
werewolf is coming, you know
The [D5]werewolf’s coming
The [D5]werewolf’s coming
Yes, the [D5]werewolf is coming, Joe [D7]

[MIDDLE 8]
[G] I hear her howling, prowling on the hill
The [D5]werewolf’s coming, Bill

[VERSE]
N.C.
Ignorance and arrogance
The N.C.
national debate
N.C.
Put the fight in Vegas
That’s a N.C.
billion-dollar gate
[D5]Revenue: Pay-per-view
N.C.
Should be pretty healthy
The [D5]usual deductions
Then it N.C.
all goes to the wealthy

[CHORUS]
[D5]Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Still the N.C.
werewolf’s coming
[D5]Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, the N.C.
werewolf’s coming

[VERSE]
N.C.
I’m not complaining
Just the N.C.
opposite, my friend
N.C.
I know it’s raining
But we’re N.C.
coming to the end of the rainbow
The N.C.
lying and the spying are through
N.C.
Oh! You don’t know me?
N.C.
O.K. I don’t know you, too

[CHORUS]
The [D5]werewolf’s coming, werewolf’s coming, oh
The [D5]werewolf’s coming, a werewolf’s coming
The [D5]werewolf is coming, Joe

[MIDDLE 8]
[G] I hear her howling, prowling on the hill
The [D5]werewolf’s coming, Bill

[VERSE]
You’d better N.C.
stock up on water
N.C.
Canned-goods off the shelves
And N.C.
loot some for the old folks
Can’t N.C.
loot for themselves
The N.C.
doorbell’s ringing
N.C.
Could be the elves
But it’s N.C.
probably the werewolf
It’s N.C.
quarter to twelve

[BRIDGE]
And when it’s midnight [D] [D]
And the [G]wolf bites
It’s a [D]full [D]moon
She really got the [G]appetite
