Intro:
D Bm A# A


Verse 1:
D           Bm      F#
I am not a dog on a chain
A#           A
I use my own brain
D     Bm                    A#
I can turn the conversation off
                     A
I'm too clever to be robbed
D          Bm       A#
I am not a dog on a chain
               A
Thanks all the same
D               Bm          A#
I have patience and I have time
                  A
Both of which are mine

Refrain:
          G              A
I hear a call, I hear a cry
    A#             C
I raise my voice, I have no choice
    G                 A
I raise my hand, I hammer twice
    A#              F
I see no point in being nice


Verse 2:
D           Bm
I am not a dog on a chain
    A#        A
I use my own brain
 D              Bm
I do not read newspapers
A#              A
They are troublemakers
D               Bm                  A#
Listen out for what's not shown to you
                           A
And there you'll find the truth
     D          Bm              A#
For in a civilized and careful way
                             A
They'll sculpture all your views


Refrain:
     G            A
So open up your nervous mouth
              A#                   C
And feel the words come streaming out
   G                  A
In volume, pitch and rising cries
  A#                    C
Opening your blinkered eyes
      G                    A
For otherwise, you'll never know
         A#      C               G
Who you are or all that you can do
         A               A#
If you want to, if you want to
              C
If you want to

D    C     A#    A   D   C   A#   A


Verse 3:
D           Bm         A#
I am not a dog on a chain
                   A
You've got to be insane
 D          Bm                A#
One is company and two is a crowd
                 A
And crowds are loud


Refrain:
        G                  A
Oh, maybe I'll be skinned alive
           A#                     C
By Canada Goose because of my views
                  G                  A
Because of the truth, because of my fleece
                   A#               C
Because of my niece, like drinking ink, the
        G
words explode
              A                    A#
Fatter than fists, louder than blows
              C                   G
Fatter than fists, louder than blows
               A                  A#
The dead are dead, ice cold and hard
                             C
To where they can't be overcharged
         G                  A
They have no breath, they have no eyes
       A#                     C
At least they won't be going twice

D    C     A#    A   D   C   A#   A


Outro:

D    Bm    A#   A   D



They have no breath, they have no eyes

At least they won't be going twice
