D                        F                  C  
In the timbers to Fennario, the wolves are running round,  
                                                           D  
The winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground.  
             C            G          F      C    D      C            G      
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.  
  D                       F                        C  
I sat down to my supper, 'twas a bottle of red whiskey,  
                                              D         F      C   
I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me.  
             D            G          F      C   D       C            G                
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.  
     Em           D          G           F         C        
When I awoke, the Dire Wolf, six hundred pounds of sin,  
                                                   D  
Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in".  
             C            G          F      C   D       C           G  
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.  
       
    Em            D               G           F     C     
The Wolf came in, I got my cards, we sat down for a game.  
                                                                 D                   
I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades, but the cards were all the same.  
             C            G          F      C   D       C        G     
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.  
(The guitar solo follows the chord pattern of the first Verse)  
       D                         F                C   
In the backwash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire,  
                                                                D    
The Dire Wolf collects his dues, while the boys sing 'round the fire.  
             C            G          F      C   D       C            G   
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.  
                        C            G     
No, no, no don't murder me. I beg of you,  
      F      C   D       C            G      
Don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.
