Dogs Chords

(ver. 3)
Pink Floyd
 (acoustic with organ swells on chord changes)
          Dm9
      You gotta be crazy
          Gotta have a real need
          Bb
    Gotta sleep on your toes      and when you're on the street
      You got to be able         to pick out the easy meat with
          Asus (drums / electric guitar comes in)
     your eyes closed
     Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight
          Absus
      You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking

 (organ gets louder and plays throughout)
          Dm9
      And after a while
      You can work on points for style
          Bb
   Like a club tie          and a firm handshake
     A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
          Asus
      You have to be trusted
   by the people that you lie to
          Absus
  So that when they turn their backs on you
   You'll get the chance to put the knife in


|Dm       |Bb       |Asus     |Absus    |


          Dm9
   You've gotta keep one eye
  Looking over your shoulder You know
          Bb
     It's gonna get harder,   harder    harder
       As you get older                 Yeah
          Asus
      And in the end you'll pack up     Fly down south
      And hide your head in the sand
          Absus
              Just another sad old man
              All alone and dying of cancer

 (quiet synth-brass + organ pad. Acoustic rhythm, Electric hi-lites at same volume)
|Dm       |Bb       |Asus     |Absus    |Dm       |

 And when you lose control           you'll reap the harvest you have sown
|Dm       |C               |Dm  |C  |Dm                               |Bb   |Bb  |A* A |
   And as the fear grows             the bad blood slows and turns to stone_______

(Electric Guitar Funky tempo starts)
|Dm          |C                      |Dm         |C              |Dm   |C  |
 And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
|Dm  |C        |Bb   |C         |Bb |C       |Dm     A* A |F       A*   A      Dm   |
      So have a good drown as ya go  down all alone        Dragged down by the stone

[slow 3/3 tempo] (count 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 and ...)

          Dm9
          Gotta admit
          That I'm a little bit confused
          Bb
          Sometimes it seems to me
          As if I'm just being used
          Asus (cymbals Electric guitar crescendo)
          Gotta stay awake gotta try and shake off
     This creeping malaise
          Absus
     If I don't stand my own ground
          How can I find my way out of the maze?

 (Organ comes in)
          Dm9
          Deaf, dumb and blind
          You just keep on pretending
          Bb
     That everyone's expendable
      And no one has a real friend
          Asus
   And it seems to you the thing to do
    Would be to isolate the winner
          Absus
      And everything's done under the sun
  And you believe at heart everyone's a killer


|Dm       |Bb       |Asus     |Absus    |
