Song

The Groove -
(do some wah wah muffles, and hit lower notes of the chord)
-> Gm -> Ab

Intro

  

Verse 1

It was many years ago now  
I really can't be sure  
cause when it all began then 
I heard that knock upon my door.  

Chorus

It's the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
comin' down on me.
Bb Gm Ab x2

Verse 2

The telephone was ringing  
That's when I handed it to Liz 
She said, "This isn't who it would be
If it wasn't who it is"  

Chorus

It's the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
comin' down on me.
Bb Gm Ab x2

Verse 3

So I might be on a side street 
Or a stairway to the stars  
I hear the high pitched cavitation
Of propellers from afar  

Chorus

It's the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
It's the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
It's the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
comin' down on me.
Bb Gm Ab x2

Bridge

So in meaningless excitement. 
through the total sound. 
It's like a cross between a hurricane. 
It's like a ship that's running ground 

Chorus

It's the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
It's the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
It's the Wolfman's Brother, the Wolfman's Brother
comin' down on...
comin' down on me.
Bb Gm Ab x2

Outro

This riff is underlined by the main grove Bb -> Gm -> Ab
A simple run down the pentatonic scale, B means bend
  
e|---6---3-----------------------------------------------------|
B|---------6---3-----------------------------------------------|
G|------------------5--3-----3---5-----------------------------|
D|------------------------5------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|
The rest of the jam is of course on the same Bb pentatonic scale.
