Mike Doughty - Year Of The Dog Chords

Year of the Dog 
A
Time tells butterfat lies
                                          E
Sweet lousy cupcakes of lies
A
I'll comply and I shall play along
                   E             A
I was born in the year of the dog
         D
And the blue black tattoo, it crawled up my arm
                                 A
Scribbled vines crawling my arm
        D
And a rooster rose up and it cried an alarm
                                  A
Sounded alarming alarms
     E
And laid on the lawn and the dawns
                                  D
Of the morning got warm
A 
Queer fear in severe clear
                                        E
Scrunch your fat face like a doll
A
I got made in a candy floss smog
                  E            A
I was born in the year of the dog
       D
And I drove in my car where the hills stand to shore
                                      A
Over and down to the shore
        D
Then I threw out my dreams, so I'd dream them no more
                               A
Drown them and dream them no more
        E
Then I sat and I stared at the waves
                     D                         

A [instrumental break]
        D
And I'm listless and lost and I cry all the time
                        A
Lost and I cry all the time
      D
And I felt just the same, though I chuffed up a line 
                                          A
High but I felt just the same

          E
And the steam from my cup, a girl loved
                                            D
And it spelled out her name
