Verse 1:

There's a shadow hanging over the valley

Total eclipse of the moon

Closing up the gates of the city

The wind plays a wild tune

Verse 2:

Don't you put the lock upon the window

Don't you put the bar on the door

Don't you cry for the rain in the sky

You've seen the storm before

(Repeat Intro.)

Well, what's the matter with you baby

Baby, what's the matter now

Tell me what's the matter your running in the shadows

Every time you hear the wild man howl

(Repeat chorus, intro, then chorus twice while solo is being played,

then intro again.)

Verse 3:

Lightning gonna strike at midnight

Thunder gonna shake the ground

Don't you flinch don't give an inch

Just let the flood come down

(Repeat chorus twice, then intro.)

End:
