3-Legged Dog
From the album Milk and Scissors

Intro:
C majorC AbAb (x2)

Verse 1:
C majorC        A minorAm
Like a 3-legged dog
         G+G  E MajorE
you've called in sick
C majorC             A minorAm
Sure there's seconds of pleasure
      G+G       E MajorE
but so many  moments of pain

Pre-chorus:
FF        C majorC
And you can't snap your fingers
FF       C majorC
and you don't talk so straight
FF        C majorC
You want to be loved,
            A minorAm     E MajorE
but you probably can't make it anyway

Chorus:
FF         C majorC
Now the ground is cold (Now the ground is cold)
FF           C majorC
and there's no fire around (There's no fire)
FF       C majorC
An absence of fire
        A minorAm      E MajorE
and you're just co-     old

Verse 2:
C majorC          A minorAm
And I've seen this dog
    G+G  E MajorE
in my sleep
C majorC       A minorAm
He chases my father, too,
     G+G         E MajorE
when he dreams between the sheets

Pre-chorus:
FF           C majorC
But we all think it's time for you to
FF                   C majorC
quit -- take a last swig of that cabernet
FF          C majorC
But, I tell you my friend
      A minorAm   E MajorE
I won't forget you

Chorus:
FF           C majorC
And the world's not clean (And the world's not clean)
FF               C majorC
but they get mad when you're dirty (When you're dirty)
FF            C majorC
If you've handled some food,
      A minorAm      E MajorE
you better wash     up

Interlude:
G+G E MajorE

Verse 3:
C majorC        A minorAm
Like a 3-legged dog
        G+G  E MajorE
you got three feet
C majorC        A minorAm
You can't walk fast or fuck,
    G+G       E MajorE
but you still get in heat

Pre-chorus:
FF     C majorC
You can't wag your ears or
FF     C majorC
flap your tail,
FF          C majorC
but I still see you wandering
       A minorAm      E MajorE
down by the wishing   well

Chorus:
FF          C majorC
When the ground was young (When the ground was young)
FF        C majorC
and caves were cold,
FF           C majorC
you've stayed out all night
          A minorAm    E MajorE
and you're just too o-    old

Outro:
