D               G
With a heart of sand
D              G
And a head of coal
    D     G        D      G
Oh Nakhla dog, oh Nakhla dog
D                    G          D
And who would have noticed?
D                   G         D        G     D      G
And who would have known you, Nakhla dog, oh Nakhla dog


[Chorus]
G          Em      C           G
You be the meteor I'll be the ground below
G          Em           C         G
You be the chainsaw and I will be the pine
G          Em              C         G
And with a flash of paint across my waist
D           G             D       G
I will be waiting with my head on fire


[Verse]
D          G
And all at once
D                 G         D       G      D      G
Like ashes in the moment oh Nakhla dog, oh Nakhla dog


[Chorus]
G          Em          C           G
You be the meteor and I'll be the ground below
G          Em           C         G
You be the chainsaw and I will be the pine
G          Em              C        G
And with a flash of paint across my waist
D           G             D       G
I will be waiting with my head on fire
D           G             D       G
I will be waiting with a wagging tail
