Boy Who Cried Wolf

BOY WHO CRIED WOLF The Style Council

This is a song from the second album "Our Favourite Shop" of

The Style Council. I already worked out the chords a few years ago,

but maybe someone is interested in, although it is a quiet

old one, and The Style Council doesn't exist anymore.

hm7 hm6

As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth

G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79

I lie awake at night and - think about me

hm7 hm6

All those usual things, like what a fool I've been

G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 hm7 hm6 F#(#5)7 F#79

I curse the awfull way - that I let you slip away.

hm7 hm6

For what was forged in love, is now cooling down

G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79

With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game

hm7 hm6

I thought I need only call and you would run

G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79

But that day you never showed honey - Well I sure learned.

G^7 D^7

That it seemes I need you more each day

G^7 D^7

Heaven knows why that it goes that way,

hm7 hm6

Now it's far too late - and I lost this time,

G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 hm7 G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 hm7

Like a Boy who cried wolf, like a boy who cried wolf.

G^7 D^7

And yes I know it's far too late

G^7 D^7

To ever win you back

G^7 D^7

No tale of nightmare's at my gate

C^7 G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 hm7

Could make you turn, my lost concern.

hm7 hm6

And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul

G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79

I sit alone and wonder, where did I go wrong?

hm7 hm6

It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door

G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79

But one day you never showed honey, now I'm not so sure

G^7 D^7

That it seems I need you more each day

G^7 D^7

Heaven knows why that it goes that way,

hm7 hm6

Now it's far too late, and I've lost this time

G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 hm7 G^7 F#(#5)7 F#79 hm7

Like a Boy who cried wolf, like a boy who cried wolf.
