[Em]The girl he met was out-of-sight though she walked the streets at night
[Em]He didn't mind it she seemed as happy as a song
And if anything was wrong he didn't find it
[Em]They used to laugh and dance and drink [Em]and not ever did he think of a payday
[Em]No matter where they ever were every day he spent with her was a hey-day
[Em]He was a Steppenwolf, [E]a lost and [A]lonely one

[Em]'cause there's something that I want and I ain't teasing
[Em]My life is empty all around nothing that I ever found
[Em]Would fulfill me so for a while I'll be with you
[Em]When I say that we're through. You must kill me!"
[Em]He was a Steppenwolf, [E]He cried "It [A]isn't fair"
[C]He was a [D]Steppenwolf, "You know how much I care"
