[Verse]
G F C        G                  
■ ■ ■ In the timbers to Fennario
Bb                     F    
The wolves are runnin' round
    F                          
The winter was so hard and cold
                          G     
Froze ten feet 'neath the ground
             F  G          C  
Don't murder me ■ I beg of you
             F  G F                   C 
Don't murder me ■ please don't murder me
G                      
I sat down to my supper
Bb                     F     
It was a bottle of red whisky
C                     F          
I said my prayers and went to bed
           C                Am
That's the last they saw of me


[Chorus]
             G  F          C  
Don't murder me ■ I beg of you
Am           F  G F                   C 
Don't murder me ■ please don't murder me


[Verse]
Am                  G        
■  When I awoke the dire wolf
C7                 F     
Six hundred pounds of sin
F                        
Was grinning at my window
                       G 
All I said was Come on in
                 F  G          C  
But don't murder me ■ I beg of you


[Chorus]
G            Am G F                   C  Am
Don't murder me ■ please don't murder me ■ 
G               C                
■ The wolf came in I got my cards
Bb              F     
We sat down for a game
F                                   
I cut my deck to the queen of spades
                           G   
But the cards were all the same
             F  G          C  
Don't murder me ■ I beg of you
Am              G F                     
Don't murder me ■ please don't murder me
             F 
Don't murder me

[Verse]
   G                       
In the backwash of Fennario
Bb                   F   
The black and bloody mire
    F                         
The dire wolf collects his due
                               G   
While the boys sing 'round the fire
             F  G          C  
Don't murder me ■ I beg of you
             F  G F                   C 
Don't murder me ■ please don't murder me


[Chorus]
             G  F          C  
Don't murder me ■ I beg of you
E            Am G F                   C 
Don't murder me ■ please don't murder me
                      C              
No no no don't murder me I beg of you
                G F                   C 
Don't murder me ■ please don't murder me
