<< Back to Grateful Dead Song List

Version 1 Version 3

            [Intro]
E  D  A  E


[Verse 1]
E
In the timbers of Fennario
G                       D
The wolves are running round
D 
The winter was so hard and cold
D                          E
Froze ten feet 'neath the ground


[Chorus]
             D
Don't murder me
E         A          C#7    D
 I beg of you, don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me


[Verse 2]
  E
I sat down to my supper
G                     D
'twas a bottle of red whiskey
D 
I said my prayers and went to bed
           A         G#7 G7 F#7
That's the last they saw of me


[Chorus]
             E
Don't murder me
D         A          C#7    D
 I beg of you, don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me


[Verse 3]
     F#m          E
When I awoke, the dire wolf
    A       G         D
Six hundred pounds of sin
D
Was grinning at my window
D                        E
All I said was, "Come on in"


[Chorus]
             D
Don't murder me
E         A          C#7    F#m
 I beg of you, don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me


[Verse 4]
    F#m           E
The wolf came in, I got my cards
    A       G     D
We sat down for a game
D 
I cut my deck to the queen of spades
D                          E
But the cards were all the same


[Chorus]
             D
Don't murder me
E         A          C#7    F#m
 I beg of you, don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me


[Solo] (same as Verse 4 and Chorus):
F#m E  A  G  D  D  D  E  
D  E  A  C#7  F#m  E  D  A


[Verse 5]
E
In the backwash of Fennario
    G                D
The black and bloody mire
D 
The dire wolf collects his due
D                             E
While the boys sing round the fire


[Chorus]
             D
Don't murder me
E         A          C#7    D
 I beg of you, don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me


[Chorus]
             E
Don't murder me
D         A          C#7    F#m
 I beg of you, don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me - No, no, no


[Chorus]
             E
Don't murder me
D         A          C#7    F#m
 I beg of you, don't murder me
E      D            A
Please don't murder me

Please don't murder me
