19th Nov 2012
CAPO at 2nd fret (Sounds in the key of F#m)
(maj7)
In - side a broken clock,
(maj7)
Splash - ing the wine with all the rain--- dogs,
(maj7)
Tax - i?... we'd rather walk,
(maj7)
Hudd - le a doorway with the rain---- dogs!
B7 Baug B7 Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6 Cmaj7
For I am a rain dog too! | / / / / |
(maj7)
Oh, how we danced, and we swal - lowed the night,
(m)
For it was all ripe for dreaming, | / / / / |
(maj7)
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights,
We've al---ways been out--- of our minds! | / / / / |
(maj7)
The rum pours strong and thin,
(maj7)
Beat out the dustman with the rain---- dogs,
(maj7)
A - board a shipwrecked train,
(maj7)
Give my um - brella to the rain---- dogs!
B7 Baug B7 Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6 Cmaj7
For I am a rain dog too! | / / / / |
(maj7)
Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tral - ee,
Her long hair black as a raven, | / / / / |
(maj7)
Oh, how we danced, and you whis - pered to me,
You'll ne----ver be go----ing back home! | / / / / |
(maj7)
Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tral - ee,
Her long hair black as a raven, | / / / / |
(maj7)
Oh, how we danced, and you whis - pered to me,
(Suggestion for coda)
You'll ne----ver be go----ing back home---------------------------!
Emphasise the bass notes on the beat,
and the chord strum on the off-beat
