F5  A5  G5  C5     

     F5         C5     G5        A5     
This old black dog is hounding me
   F5               A5         G5            C5
He waits round the corner and hides in the trees 
  F5        C5        G5              A5             F5  A5  G5  C5
I feel the chill of something blown in on the breeze

        F5            C5      G5       A5
And the light of the cinema screen, I hide
F5          A5        G5     C5
Laughing I only feel empty inside
F5            C5             G5         A5
Crying means nothing, I've nothing to say
F5              A5             G5        C5
I wish I could kick this old black dog away
   
        F5     C5       F5          C5          A5
And the worst part is knowing my part in it all
         F5     C5       F5            C5          A5        
Yeah the worst part is knowing it's nothing at all

      F5     C5      G5      C5             F5  C5  G5  C5
Oh if I can pull myself together I'll try
     F5     C5           G5         C5           F5  C5  G5  C5
Oh I can't explain the tear that sits in my eye

F5          C5           G5          A5
Try to out smarten but somehow he knows
    F5      A5        G5          C5
Wherever I am , that fucking dog goes
        F5            C5           G5             A5
Oh I'll kill him and this time I swear I won't feel
     F5           A5            G5           C5
I'll kick in his ribs and I'll rip off his tail
