Verse 1: Zac Brown:
Em
Black dog drinks from the water trying to cool his tongue
                                                   G5 Gb5 Em
Like the king, finds no peace, his work is never done
Em
Night falls, smoke on the water, darkness closes in
Cold white hand in the deep will drown you for your sins

His ghost will shake those rattling chains long after he's dead

No soul knows his trouble high upon his throne
                                     A                  Em
Loved by few and judged by many, he bears that weight alone
