I Left The Wolves Behind That Night 
by The Tiger & Me

 
  Dm              A
I walked into a foreign town, 
  Dm               A
A land long left behind.
  Dm             Gm
I sat beside an acacia tree, 
      Dm       A      Dm     A
And a fountain of red wine. 


  Dm                   A
A blind old man with a bible in his hand, 
   Dm                     A
Is struggling through the sand. 
  Dm                  Gm
A poor boy dressed in rags in tow, 
   Dm        A      Dm      A
He leads him by the hand. 


      Dm                Bb
And I left the wolves behind that night, 
  F                    Am
I left them where they fell. 
  Dm                 Bb
I slayed them one by one that night, 
  F               Am
Beneath the old cathedral bell. 

I sang:  
Dm                  A              
 ladada, ladada, la da, dadada, 
Dm                       A
 ladada, ladada, dada da da la da
Dm              A             Dm 
 ladada, ladada, la da, da da da, 
       A
ladada, la da da.


    Dm                     A
The old man took me by the hand, 
       Dm            A
And he led me to the well.
        Dm          Gm
I said: “I am not a killer or a thief, 
    Dm              A           Dm        A
But there are other pathways to Hell.” 


          Dm              A   
He said: “Worry not about what has passed, 
    Dm              A
And live without regret. 
      Dm          Gm
Think only of the moment now, 
        Dm            A           Dm       A
You can sleep friend, when you?re dead.” 


      Dm                Bb
And I left the wolves behind that night, 
  F                    Am
I left them where they fell. 
  Dm                 Bb
I slayed them one by one that night, 
  F               Am
Beneath the old cathedral bell. 

I sang:  
Dm                  A              
 ladada, ladada, la da, dadada, 
Dm                       A
 ladada, ladada, dada da da la da
Dm              A             Dm 
 ladada, ladada, la da, da da da, 
       A
ladada, la da da.
