All The Dogs Are Lying Down chords by Flynn Johnny

Capo 5th


      A               E       A       E
I saw prayers being made with plastic rosaries

A          E      A           E
 Carpets laid, no thought for furniture...




 E                F#m
 All the dogs are lying down

 A
 All the dogs are lying...

 E                F#m
 All the dogs are lying down

 A
 All the dogs are lying...




 E                  B7
 As I crept wayward cracking bones

 F#m                   A
 The steeple rose, the way unknown.

 E                    B7
 The steeple jarred I set me down

     F#m
 And listened to the furnished ground.




 E  B7  F#m  A x2



 E                             B7
 "She saith soft things," said one who lay -

 F#m                 A
 I turned to see the one turn grey!

 E                      B7
 An ash-burnt brim with naught he wept

 F#m
 But to the ground my ear had bent.




 E  B7  F#m  A x2



  E                      B7
 "Say softer things than e'er," saith I

     F#m
 The while my horse had run a mile

 E                B7
 And lying in the black I wept -

 F#m
 For ne'er a lad so wayward crept.



 E  B7  F#m  A x2



 E                B7
 Listening hard I felt too young -

 F#m
 The waywards talk with older tongues...




 E  B7  F#m  A
 E  Bm  A  E x4



 E
 SCREWS ON!
 SCREWS UP!

 Bm
 LEFT DOWN!
 LIP OUT!

 A
 Burned by day!
 Marooned by night!

 E
 Lost in a battle and found in a fight

 E
 Creep off ash-stained

 Bm
 Jump off, six lanes

 A
 One left and one gone!

 E
 None left and I'm gone!

     Bm        A         E
 I'm gone! I'm gone! I'm gone!



E  Bm  A  E x2


      A               E       A       E
I saw prayers being made with plastic rosaries

A          E      A           E
 Carpets laid, no thought for furniture...


 E                F#m
 All the dogs are lying down

 A
 All the dogs are lying...

 E                F#m
 All the dogs are lying down

 A                            E
