Bm
[VERSE ONE]
Bm
Wild thing
Bm
See the monkey in the jungle swing
Bm
Canary in the cavern sing
F#
That the devil lives in anything
Bm
C'mon people
Bm
You know that I ain't got the wherewithal
Bm
When California starts to crawl
F#
Makes a poor man leave his home
[CHORUS]
Bm
And if I cry for you baby
Bm
Your death's head tattoo made me
G
Pray for the last one standing
G
Holding a loaded gun
Bm F# D E Bm
I can see her there under the golden sun
[VERSE TWO]
Bm
Wild thing
Bm
See the man up on the gallows swing
Bm
See the creature walking through the weeds
F#
In a garden grown from evil seeds
Bm
C'mon people
Bm
You know I can't afford to reconcile
Bm
When California starts to crawl
F#
Makes a poor child leave its home
[CHORUS]
Bm
And if I cry for you baby
Bm
Your death's head tattoo made me
G
Pray for the last one standing
G
Holding a loaded gun
Bm G F#
I can see her there under the golden sun
[BRIDGE]
F# B
Better the devil you know
F# B
Than the one that you don't
F# B
Better the devil you know
F# B
Than the one that you don't
