Verse:
FF
I was hungry and I was cold,
DmDm
had a father far too old
FF G7G7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
Couldn't make it to the place he'd like to be
FF
In a tree trunk in the park,
DmDm
he was living in the dark
G+G D MajorD G+G
Keeping other dogs like him for company
FF
And in the evening I'd go down
DmDm
to a nightclub in the town
FF G7G7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
Try to get some bread to make another way
FF
Back to the park I'd go,
DmDm
dig him out of the snow
G+G D MajorD G+G
You know he's lived a thousand years day to day
A minorAm
Well, the days get shorter
and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
E minorEm
If you love one another,
could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
A minorAm
And at this moment in time
you couldn't make up your mind
FF
Now could you ever understand
C majorC FF
Are you following me
C majorC FF
just like Moses to the sea
E MajorE A minorAm G+G FF
Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end
C majorC FF
When I'm long dead and gone
C majorC FF
will your love for me go on
E MajorE A minorAm G+G FF
Will I be the one you run to in the end
C majorC DmDm C majorC FF Eb MajorEb
And all my dogs need a friend
C majorC Eb MajorEb C majorC
FF DmDm
It was a quarter to three in the summer of '73
FF G7G7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
When I heard somebody call outside my door
FF
Said 'Are you friend or are you foe'
DmDm
He looked up and he said
G+G D MajorD
No, but I'd like to come inside
G+G
and know you more
A minorAm
Well, the days get shorter
and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
E minorEm
If you love one another,
could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
A minorAm
And at this moment in time
you couldn't make up your mind
FF
Now could you ever understand
C majorC FF
Are you following me
C majorC FF
just like Moses to the sea
E MajorE A minorAm G+G FF
Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end
