Intro:  play Riff A 1 time

         Riff A (continues under verse)
1.Verse: Life is getting stranger, baby as we travel on
         people don´t know the difference no more 
         between right and wrong
         say it´s gonna be a cold dark night
         when the creeper comes along
         watch out for the steel blade, baby all shiny and long
         
         Dm (Riff C)                       E5
Chorus:  i say it´s gonna be a cold dark night
         F5                                 Riff A
         oh,   when the creeper comes along

         Riff A (continues under verse)
2.Verse: he´s tall, he´s short, he´s fat, he´s thin
         he´s out for vengeance, he´s out to win
         the road he walks is dark and dim
         don´t let him catch you out on a limb
         he´ll cut your throat baby, stick you in the back
         drive off in your cadillac
         he´s more trouble than you think
         he´ll kill your sugar, leave you in the drink

         Dm (Riff C)                       E5
Chorus:  i say it´s gonna be a cold dark night
         F5                                 Riff A
         oh,   when the creeper comes along

         Riff A (cont....)
3.Verse: yes, the enemy of society hurts the people every day
         the law´s out to catch him baby, but there just ain´t no way
         i say it´s gonna be a cold dark night
         when the creeper comes along
         watch out for the stell blade baby
         all shiny and long

         Dm (Riff C)                       E5
Chorus:  i say it´s gonna be a cold dark night
         F5                                 Riff A
         oh,   when the creeper comes along
         Dm (Riff C)                       E5
         i say it´s gonna be a cold dark night
         F5                                 Riff A
         oh,   when the creeper comes along
