           Wolves

Introduction:  D/E  G  Asus  D/E  G

  D/E                   G
January's always bitter
    Asus                 D/E  G6  Gadd9/D
But Lord, this one beats all
    D/E                            G
The wind ain't quit for weeks now
                            A-Asus-A   A
And the drifts are ten feet ta------ll
D/E        G                         A
I've been all night drivin' heifers
                    D/E    C/D
Closer in to lower ground
        D/E                       A
Then I spent the mornin' thinkin'
                                 D/E   G/D  G
'Bout the ones the wolves pulled down

         D/E                   G
Charlie Barton and his family
          Asus           D/E  G6  Gadd9/D
Stopped today to say goodbye
            D/E                  G
He said the bank was takin' over
                                A-Asus-A   A
The last few years were just too dr-----y
D/E    G                      A
And I promised that I'd visit
                          D/E     C/D
When they found a place in   town
        D/E                       A
Then I spent a long time thinkin'
                                D/E
'Bout the ones the wolves pull down

CHORUS:
 G             A      D        G   F#m - Em
Lord, please shine a light of hope
            A              D    Dsus - D
On those of us who fall behind
     G        A     D       G   F#m - Em
And when we stumble in the snow
                  D                      A-Asus-A
Could you help us up while there's still t---i--me

              D/E                         G
Well, I don't mean to be complainin' Lord
           Asus            D/E    G  Asus
But you've always seen me through
      D/E                       G
And I know you got your reasons
                             A-Asus-A  A
For each and every thing you do------
 D     G                       A
But tonight outside my window
                             Bm  -  C/D
There's a lonesome, mournful sou----nd
      D/E                           A
And I just can't keep from thinkin'
                               D/E  G
'Bout the ones the wolves pull down
   D/E                      A
Oh Lord, keep me from bein'
N.C.
The one the wolves pull down
D/E  G  A  Asus  D/E-h->D

In the Chorus, the chord progression sounds much better if you
use a G bar chord before the F#m.  In the ending, strum a D/E
chord, but right after you hit the final string, use a hammer-
on in the second fret to get the final D chord.
This is a pretty easy song, but most of the chords don't sound
right if you strum instead of pick.  You'll have to listen to
the song carefully to get what string order.  Maybe someday I'll
Tab out the whole song...
