Intro:
E E E [G A]
Verse Peter:
E
It was lost in a sound like this
Of times his mind told himself was bliss
A G F# E
Acoustical lullaby with all hell going on inside
G F# E
It was a trench-coat top hat shotgun dog down day
E
It was a sound a bit like this
Trashy & blue with a blaggard's hiss
A
Talking about gits love today
G F# E
In a strung up hang dog head fuck quick buck way
E
Packed up and I headed East
Headed for the Belly of the Beast
A
But within a Bangkok's half hour
G F# E
I was way laid by a lower power
G F# E
It was a smacked up cracked up bone shot smacked down day
Chorus:
E B A
Don't know if I can go on
E B A
Making no sense in songs
E B A
Don't know if this is forever
E B A
It sometimes feels like forever
G F# E
Forever and a dog down day
E E E [G A]x2
Verse Carl:
E
It was found in a state like this
By town and hammered up and a bloodied fist
A
His heart was broke but he got the jist
G F# E
Get he can't carry on like this
G F# E
It was a blackjack, paddywhack, stick a brother in the back day
E
Back in London’s grey-scotch mist
Staring up at my therapist
A
He says pound for pound, blow for blow
G F# E
You’re the most messed-up motherfucker I know
G F# E
It was a 12 step bus fare knock down daycare day
Bridge:
C#m
Makes no odds that you're there
E
Makes no odds that you care
B A
Makes no odds anymore
Forever and a dog down
G F# E
Forever and a dog down day
E E E [G A]x2
Chorus:
E B A
Don't know if I can go on
E B A
Making no sense in songs
G F# E
Forever and a dog down day
E
Is this failing?
Supposed to be plain sailing
Don't fade away
E
Don't fade away
G A E
Glory Hallelujah day!
G A E
Glory Hallelujah day!
E E E [G A] until the end
