Dogs and Thunder
View chords used in this chart
Intro (and basic pattern): A- A E D/ x2
A- A E D
(V): A rifle sits behind her sleeping ear
A- A E D
Echo on the cold wall, closest neighbour couldn't hear
A- A E D
We dug a hole in the fall
A- A E D
So now its a frozen burial
E - D - A- A E D
And she's gone, just before the new year
Well I'm gonna build a cross for her spot between the trees
And stick it in firm so it won't sway in the breeze
You and I have trouble making up our half-assed minds
But she'd seen sixteen years of our kind
What's it like, when your memories start to freeze
E Fe D A
(C): Oh, and I wonder
E Fe D A
What it is about dogs and thunder
E Fe D A E Fe D A
What they hear, coming over the field
E Fe D A
Back hall shelter, warm nights in summer
E Fe D A
Shaking the ground that you lie under
E Fe
Well I know you're not here
D A E Fe D A
But at least you don't feel it anymore
(A- A E D) x2
E
(B): And I came to see you, on the day that it happened
D A E
You said "Hey sorry Sar, but I gotta go"
And I was trying to read, some sort of reaction
A D E
Something you just can't show
D
So I guess it's time I go
(V): Across the snowy barnyard, just past the driving shed
Shadow of me in the moon, well I was in the movie in my head
This pile of dirt on the ground
Will sink when nobody's around
Winter covers everything, but everything's not dead
(C): Oh, and I wonder...
Well I know you're not here
But at least you don't feel it anymore
Well I know you're not here
But at least you don't fear it anymore
Slightly strange chords:
A- 002200 Fe 044200
Notes: I don't think the ends of the chorus are right, but it
sounds okay that way. Playable without the capo, as I find it
easier to sing that way. Drop me a note if you use this, or are at
all interested.
