VERSE 3:
My dogs come sit next to me
A pack of dogs and cigarettes
My only friends speak no words to me
But they look at me and they don't forget
That a boy's best friend
/D N.C.
Is his mother or whatever has become his pet
All of the other tabs are somewhat inaccurate, I thought I'd host this one, I didn't tab this. Here it is . . .
Just to let you now, i was playing along with the track and it appears to be in open Eb, not E. Or at least i think i sounds better this way
