F  C  G  Am
F  Am  G  C     

     F         C     G        Am     
This old black dog is hounding me
   F               Am         G            C
He waits round the corner and hides in the trees 
  F        C        G              Am             F  Am  G  C
I feel the chill of something blown in on the breeze

        F            C      G       Am
And the light of the cinema screen, I hide
F          Am        G     C
Laughing I only feel empty inside
F            C             G         Am
Crying means nothing, I've nothing to say
F              Am             G        C
I wish I could kick this old black dog away
   
        F     C       F          C          Am
And the worst part is knowing my part in it all
         F     C       F            C          Am        
Yeah the worst part is knowing it's nothing at all

      F     C      G      C             F  C  G  C
Oh if I can pull myself together I'll try
     F     C           G         C           F  C  G  C
Oh I can't explain the tear that sits in my eye

F          C           G          Am
Try to out smarten but somehow he knows
    F      Am        G          C
Wherever I am, that fucking dog goes
        F            C           G             Am
Oh I'll kill him and this time I swear I won't feel
     F           Am            G           C
I'll kick in his ribs and I'll rip off his tail
