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.


INTRO

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

hm7                      hm6
As the rain comes down,  upon this sad  sweet earth

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

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#79F#79 Piano Chord 

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#79F#79 Piano Chord 

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#79F#79 Piano Chord 

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#79F#79 Piano Chord 

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.
