BOY WHO CRIED WOLF The Style Council
This is a song from the second album "Our Favourite Shop" of
The Style Council. I already worked out the chords a few years ago,
but maybe someone is interested in, although it is a quiet
old one, and The Style Council doesn't exist anymore.
INTRO
^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth
^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
I lie awake at night and - think about me
All those usual things, like what a fool I've been
^7 (#5)7 F#79 (#5)7 F#79
I curse the awfull way - that I let you slip away.
For what was forged in love, is now cooling down
^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game
I thought I need only call and you would run
^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
But that day you never showed honey - Well I sure learned.
^7 ^7
That it seemes I need you more each day
^7 ^7
Heaven knows why that it goes that way,
Now it's far too late - and I lost this time,
^7 (#5)7 F#79 ^7 (#5)7 F#79
Like a Boy who cried wolf, like a boy who cried wolf.
^7 ^7
And yes I know it's far too late
^7 ^7
To ever win you back
^7 ^7
No tale of nightmare's at my gate
^7 ^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
Could make you turn, my lost concern.
And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul
^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
I sit alone and wonder, where did I go wrong?
It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door
^7 F#(#5)7 F#79
But one day you never showed honey, now I'm not so sure
^7 ^7
That it seems I need you more each day
^7 ^7
Heaven knows why that it goes that way,
Now it's far too late, and I've lost this time
^7 (#5)7 F#79 ^7 (#5)7 F#79
Like a Boy who cried wolf, like a boy who cried wolf.
^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 -
