Dr. Dog "Im Standing In the Light" A chord pattern that works for both his live version and album or "piano song" version as the other guy put it. It's a simple early Dylan like chord pattern. The Passed Away album I think is done mostly from old 2 track recordings. This particular song has like a muffled mellotron on it that I really love, and I like the overall, lo-fi, almost child like, feeling to it. And I love the words just as much. the rest of the chords are straight forward, these are just the variations I use to play this song: C F Em Am C7 --- --- ---- ---- ----- 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 2 0 2 3 2 3 2 2 2 3 3 2 0 3 3 x 0 0 x --- --- ---- ---- ---- C F C F C Em Am F G C C F C F Well I set fire to an apple tree C Em Am And put it back out like a bad memory F G C And I washed my hands in the flood C F C F Well I took a sip of the trouble Ive stirred F Em Am And I spit it back out like a four letter word F G C And I lost my head in the fire C F C F Well I sat up high on the walls we built Em Am And I felt just like a fool on stilts F G C C7 But I just can't get down F Em Olives, and a pair of eyes Am F Are floating in my glass C Em And nothing has ever seemed so strange F G Gm But this I know will pass Well Ive seen as far as the eye can see And I blew my mind in the lottery But I lost my chance Well Ive been told about the fiery skies And Ive told my fair share of lies But I believe in mine Well Ive known folks as smarts as dogs And Ive known folks like bumps on logs And theyre all fine by me Blue skies and my share of love Are somewhere in the past And nothing worth anything Is strong enough to last Well Ive done my time for the ills Ive caused And Ive paid my dues in the bets Ive lost And Ive got room enough to die Well Ive seen as far as my eyes can see And Ive tried my hand at the mystery Yet I walk in the land of the blind Yeah I made my bed in which I lie And Ive burnt the bridge to the other side And Im standing in the light
