Black Dog

BLACK DOG Jesse Winchester Am Black dog often sniffs the plate Dm (G) Am Steaming on the stove Am The kids ain't seen you home all day Dm (G) Am You're a gentleman born to roam CHORUS: Dm Am But this black dog don't believe in sin Dm Am Think of where the black dog's been Dm E7 Am Think of where he's been.....today Repeat Chorus Have you seen the black dog's teeth Sharp, like a knife Have you seen them tear a bone or a throat to take a life Repeat Chorus Have you seen black dog's eyes Stare into the fire It would not occur to him To question your desire Repeat Chorus Iv'e always had a fear of creatures Cryin' in the dark And every form of evil Seems to bear an evil mark Repeat Chorus My woman lies beside me And the black dog at my feet She keeps me from my wandering life He robs me of my sleep Repeat Chorus I don't know the black dog's name When I call him, he don't come How'd I ever get that black dog Lord I sure never wanted one Repeat Chorus
