verse 1 

       E                    
In the timbers to Fennario,  
    G                   D 
the wolves are running 'round, 
    D                               
The winter was so hard and cold,  
      D              Eb  E 
froze ten feet neath the ground.  

E            D   
Don't murder me,     
E          A          Ab G   F#m 
  I beg of you, don't murder me.  
E  D                 A   D  A     
Please, don't murder me. 

verse 2 

A D  Db E                       
  As I  sat down to my supper,  
G                       D 
twas a bottle of red whisky, 
D 
I said my prayers and went to bed,  
           A         Ab  G  F#m 
that's the last they saw of me. 

F#m          E   D

A Ab G    F#m          E 
     When I awoke, the Dire Wolf,  
    A       G         D 
six hundred pounds of sin, 
D 
Was grinning at my window,  
      D             Eb E           
all I said was come on in. 

E            D        
Don't murder me,

I beg of you, don't murder me.

Please, don't murder me. 

verse 4 

A Ab G    F#m             E 
     The  wolf came in, I got my cards,  
   A        G     D 
we sat down for a game. 
  D 
I cut my deck to the queen of spades,  
        D              Eb  E   
but the cards were all the same. 

E            D        
Don't murder me,     
E        A          C#7    F#m 
I beg of you, don't murder me.  
E      D             A   D  A     
Please, don't murder me. 

verse 5 

       E 
In the backwash of Fennario,  
    G                D 
the black and bloody mire, 
    D 
The Dire Wolf collects his dues,  
          D               Eb   E           
while the boys sing round the fire.

E            D   
Don't murder me,     
E          A          Ab G   F#m 
  I beg of you, don't murder me.  
E   D                A   D  A     
Please, don't murder me.
