In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl honey, sniffin around your  
door 
In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy, tellin me I gotta  
have more 
 
                                                           2x

In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise, telling me what's in store

My heart starts aching, my body starts shaking, and I can't take no more 
 
 
                                                               2x

Second verse, same as the first (gee, I've always wanted to say that). 
 
 -------------------------------

 In the still of the night    in the cool moonlight 
 
 
|---------------------------------------------------------- 
|--2---------2-------------------------------------10---9-- 
|--2---------2-------------------------------------10---9-- 
|--2---------2-------------------------------------10---9-- 
|--0--0-0-0--0--------------------------------------------- 
|---------------------------------------------------------- 
 
  I feel my heart is aching     In the still of the night 
 
 ------------------------------- 
 
Then it gets slow, and I get bored. Before the next verse, 
he farts around sliding some major chords, kinda like this: 
 
|----------------------------6----------------------------- 
|----------------------------6----------------------------- 
|---9---7----12----7----5----7----------------------------- 
|---9---7----12----7----5----8----------------------------- 
|---9---7----12----7----5----8----------------------------- 
|----------------------------8-----------------------------
