Black Dog Blues

Tom: F#

F# F#7

[Verse 1]
F#
Little honeys in the kitchen where she's cooking up a storm
F#
My no good brother-in-law's out on the porch
F#
My sister of mine well she's long over due
                             C#                 F#
And I'm in this back room    with the black dog blues

[Verse 2]
F#
Well the car won't start  so it's sitting in the drive
F#
So darn hot well  I'm barely alive
F#
Ain't got no beer,  so I don't know what I'll do
                                 C#                 F#
'Cause I'm in this back room     with the black dog blues

[Chorus]
           B
I got the low down, spell bound, let down, unsound,
                                                      F#
underground, run down, by the hell hound   black dog blues
           B
I got the all pain, no gain, hard rain, no brain, insane,
                                       C#
Novacaine, ball and chain   black dog blues

[Verse 3]
     F#
Well someone's got it in for me,     they're telling dirty lies
F#
I don't ever listen,    I got troubles up to my eyes
F#
Sleeping in a concrete box,     holes in my shoes
                            C#                 F#
And walking in the rain     with the black dog blues

[Instrumental]
B C# F#         B C# F#

[Chorus]
           B
I got the low down, spell bound, let down, unsound,
                                                      F#
underground, run down, by the hell hound   black dog blues
           B
I got the all pain, no gain, hard rain, no brain, insane,
                                       C#
Novacaine, ball and chain   black dog blues

[Verse 3]
         F#
Well the house is on fire    and I'm burning inside
F#
Ain't got no work   'cause there's no work to find
F#
Sitting here alone,    I got nothing to do
                             C#                   F#
And I'm in this back room    with these black dog blues
            F#                   C# B       C# B        F#
Ooo hoo eee ya... Haa hoo eee ya
