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
