Black Dog In The Sky

      D             A          D            G
As I rode to your house I was beaten and robbed
      D       A           D
By a band of moon-faced vagabonds
             D                 A           D          G
They were rifling through my pockets and untying my shoes
  D            A       D
When the air began to boil

[Chorus]

  A                           D
Slow is the black dog in the sky
       A                               D
Who pisses and slobbers all over the world
        G                     D
From Belford to Wooler, to Beadnell and Ford
    Bm       A         D
He slowly devours the land

[Bridge]

       D               A            D                  G
I did not see what occurred but I heard their awful sounds
      D            A         D
And smelled the perfume of death
        D          A        D             G
When I opened my eyes the Sun no longer shined
  D         A     D
For those poor children

[Verse 2]

 D                 A        D                  G
Here I lie in the mud, my waistcoat caked in blood
      D        A                D
Not able to stand of my own volition
    D                  A               D           G
A flash of lightning illuminates the belly of the beast
         D          A            D
I see entrails dripping in the trees

[Chorus]

  A                           D
Slow is the black dog in the sky
      A                                D
Who pisses and slobbers all over the world
        G                     D
From Belford to Wooler, to Beadnell and Ford
     Bm      A          D
He slowly devours the land

[Verse 3]

 D                      A               D           G
Now I run through the night though my bones are on fire
    D               A            D
To see you in the bosom of the hills
             D       A          D          G
Through an ocean of fog I am ceaselessly drawn
         D     A         D
To the lantern in your window
         D     A         D
To the lantern in your window
         D     A         D
To the lantern in your window
         D     A         D
To the lantern in your window
