DOGS - Pink Floyd
The other dogs.crd file from Nevada has some mistakes in it
I think it was just a slip-up when it was typed, but the last two
chords it gives sound horrible.
I think you have to tune all strings down a tone to be in tune
with the record, so the strings should be tuned to : DGCFAD
The shapes are :
These chords fade in slowly over the Dm9
Play 4 bars of each chord :
It repeats over and over........
One extra point : there is a little grace note, or added note on
the last two chords of the sequence (E and Eb)
On the last strum of each bar add a finger on the top D string
- for the E chord, add at the second fret, for the Eb chord add
at the first fret.
I can't TAB out the exact strumming pattern as it's pretty busy
playing, but for these two chords with the extra note it looks
roughly like this :
note added here and here
I've missed out the three repeated bars in the middle and at the end
What I've tabbed is just one bar's worth of each chord.
Hope you get the idea
Enjoy !

DOGS- Pink Floyd
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, harder, and harder as you get older
Yeah, and in the end you'll pack, fly down south, hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man all alone and dying of cancer ah ah
Em Dm9 Em Dm9 Em Dm9 ... C Em9/C C Em9/C C(III) B B G G/F# Em

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone---
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down alone
Dragged down by the stone stone stone stone stone stone stone...
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one had a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Everything's done under the sun, and you believe at heart, everyone's a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a seat in the stand
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone
Who was dragged down by the stone

ANOTHER NOTE: I thought I'd take the hints from the previous posting and
figure out the rest of the song. Not sure at all about the middle
instrumental part- I did that kind of quickly.
