Am   F  G  C

[Verse 1]
  C                                     G                   C
At my gate I'll always greet you. At my door you’re welcome in
          F            C                G
There can be no transgression.  As a means to an end
        C                                  G                  C
On the wind the wolves are howling    Open arms are closed in fear
          F                   C                  G              C   C/B Am
Helping hands are clenched in anger     Broken hearts beyond repair

[Chorus]
      Am                   F                  G             C   C/B Am
Everything's so great, it can't get better, makes me wanna cry
     Am            F            G     C
But I’ll go out howling at the moon tonight

[Verse 2]
            C                                 G                  C
There she stands, so tall and mighty With her keen and watchful eye
        F            C                G
And the heart of a mother    Holding out her guiding light
         C                              G                C
It's a hard road to travel    This old rock from end to end
    F             C                       G               C         C/B Am
The sun, it rises on her brow    And sets upon the great expanse

[Chorus]
      Am                   F                  G             C   C/B Am
Everything's so great, it can't get better, makes me wanna cry
     Am            F            G     C     C/B Am
But I’ll go out howling at the moon tonight

[Interlude]
Am   F  G  C

[Verse 3]
            C                                 G               C
There she stands, so tall and mighty     Her gaze facing the east
        F                    C                 G
At her back our doors are closing      As we grin and bare our teeth
       Am        G/B           C             G                 C
On the wind the wolves are howling       She cries they're drawing near
             F                     C           G                 C   C/B Am
Well, turn around, turn around my darling    No, the wolves are here

[Chorus]
      Am               F                  G             C   C/B Am
Everything's so great can't get better, makes me wanna cry
       Am            F            G     C
Yeah, I’ll go out howling at the moon tonight
