The Handsome Family - The White Dog Chords

      Em
Last night my window opened  
        Am           Em
in the cold winter breeze
      C            Em    
and from the dark forest 
        Am         B     Em
a white dog stared in at me

Em
He sat in the branches 
           Am            Em
with his glowing yellow eyes
     C          Em
and softly he growled 
         G            D
in the shaking black pines

 Am                    C
White dog, white dog, tell me 
             G   D
where's the door
 Am                 C
across the lake of fire 
        G       D    Em
to the silver shore

Em
I fell from my window 
         Am             Em
in the swirling black breeze
C              Em
into the dark forest 
        Am B           Em
and the ice-  covered leaves

  Em                Am        Em    C      Em       Am  B  Em

Down, down through the branches 
              Am           Em
through the white waving trees
 C            Em
down, down I fell 
           G           D
into the mouth of the sea

 Am                    C
White dog, white dog, tell me 
             G   D
where's the door
 Am                 C
across the lake of fire 
        G       D   
to the silver shore
