Lindisfarne - Dedicated Hound Ukulele

Intro]
G      Em

[Verse 1]

I'm a writer, I'm a poet

Out of spiter and I know it
  G             F    C       G
I don't need to hear your guitar
                F    C        D    C        Em
I'll write my review from the bar, should go far


[Verse 2]

I'm a critic with position

Paralytic, you musician
    G        F    C      G
I'm weary of punk and new wave
                F    C  D    C      Em     Em-A11
I invented them both anyway, sad to say


[Chorus]
G       D
Uptown, hanging around
F           C
Street bar, town to town
      G      F
I'm a rigger
       G       F
With a trigger
G         D
Up, down, round and round
F          C
Feet don't touch the ground
      G     F
I'm a-ready
      G   C ~   Em
I'm a dedicated hound


[Verse 3]

I'm a wino, midnight worker

With a biro, I'm a lurker
     G         F    C      G
I'll get you a deal in the chart
              F    C       D      C
Em     Em-A11
Or stop you before you can start, that's my art


[Chorus]
G       D
Uptown, hanging around
F           C
Street bar, town to town
      G      F
I'm a rigger
       G       F
With a trigger
G         D
Up, down, round and round
F          C
Feet don't touch the ground
      G     F
I'm a-ready
      G   C ~   Em
I'm a dedicated hound


Instrumental: Em          G      Em


[Verse 4]

I'm a prier and a tryer

And I'm a liar on the wire
     G             F        C    G
Just leave me your dressing room key
                 F     C       D   C
Em      Em-A11
You did say that booze was for me, better be


[Chorus]
G       D
Uptown, hanging around
F           C
Street bar, town to town
      G      F
I'm a rigger
       G       F
With a trigger
G         D
Up, down, round and round
F          C
Feet don't touch the ground
      G     F
I'm a-ready
      G   C ~   Em
I'm a dedicated hound


[Outro]
