different from eachother. From the
a-chord, the second fret of the

Intro:
A* A E D x2
Verse:
A* A E D
A rife sits behind her sleeping ear
A* A E D
Echo on the cold wall, closest neighbour couldn’t hear
A* E E D
We dug a hole in the fall____
A* E D (single strums)
So now it’s a frozen burial
E D | | ( A* A E D ) x2
And she’s gone__, just before the new year
A* A E D
Well i’m gonna build a cross for her spot between the trees
A* A E D
And stick it in firm so it won’t sway in the breeze
A* E D (single strums)
You and i have trouble making up our half-assed minds
A* E | D
But she’d seen sixteen years__ of our kind
E D | | ( A* A E D ) x2
What’s it like___|, when your memories start to freeze
E A* D A
Oh__and i wonder__
E A* D A*
What it is about dogs and thunder__
E A* E A* D
What they hear, coming over the field___
E A* D A*
Back hall shelter, warm nights in summer
E A* D A*
Shaking the ground that you lie under
E A*
Well i know you’re not here
E A* D ( A* A E D ) x2
But at least you don’t feel it anymore__
D
And i came to see you, on the day that it happened
A* E D (single strums)
You said “Hey sorry Sar, but i gotta go”
D
And i was trying to read, some sort of reaction
A* E D (single strums)
Something you just can’t show
D
So i guess it’s time i go
A* A E D
Across the snowy barnyard, just pas the driving shed
A* A E D
Shadow of me in the moon, well i was in the movie in my head
A* E D
This pile of dirt on the ground
A* E D (single strums)
Will sink when nobody’s around
E D | | A* A E D
Winter covers everything, but everything’s not dead
E A* D A
Oh__and i wonder__
E A* D A*
What it is about dogs and thunder__
E A* E A* D
What they hear, coming over the field___
E A* D A*
Back hall shelter, warm nights in summer
E A* D A*
Shaking the ground that you lie under
E A* (play this last part 3 times)
Well i know you’re not here
E A* D
But at least you don’t feel it anymore__
