"Call me a Dog" by Chris Cornell
(Live at Queen Elizabeth Theatre)
[Verse 1]
Am G D C Em7/B
You call me a dog, well that's fair enough
Am G D C Em7/B
There ain't no use, to pretend you're wrong
Am D E F/C
When you call me out, I can't hide anymore
Am G E E7
I have no disguise, you can't see through
[Verse 2]
Am G D C Em7/B
You swear it's bad luck, to have fallen for me
Am G D C Em7/B
What can I do, to make it good for you
Am D E F/C
You wore me out, like an old winter coat
Am G E E7
Tryin' to be safe, from the cold
[Chorus]
C Cadd4 C G C G
But when it's my time, to throw the next stone
D Am G C G
I'll call you beautiful, if I call you at all
E
When you call me a dog
[Verse 3]
Am G D C Em7/B
You tell me I'm low, 'cause I slept on the floor
Am G D C Em7/B
And out in the woods, with the badgers and the wolves
Am D E F/C
You threw me out, 'cause I went digging for gold
Am G E E7
I came home with a hand, of coal
[Chorus]
C Cadd4 C G C G
But when it's my time, to throw the next stone
D Am G C G
I'll call you beautiful, if I call at all
C Cadd4 C G C G
And when it's my time, to call your bluff
D Am G G
I'll call you beautiful, or leave it alone, yeah
[Bridge]
E D
You call me a dog, That's fair enough
E G Bb C
It doesn't bother me as
D
long as you know
E G Bb C
Bad luck will follow you
D D D D
if you keep me on a leash and you drag me along
Am E Am E
You drag... me along
F/C E Am G
ey hey yeah
[Chorus]
C C G C G
But when it's my time, to throw the next stone
D Am G C G
I'll call you beautiful, if I call you at all
C C G C G
And when it's my time, to call your bluff
D Am G G
I'll call you beautiful, or leave it alone yeah
E
So you call me a dog

One slight correction...
In the chorus instead of G/Gsus4/G it's actually G/C/G.
I watched it live and was abot 5 feet from Chris...

Great version. Thank-you Pwnage.
Along with this transcription I have watched every video of him playing this I can find. A couple of them, especially the one of him in Ireland show his fingers clearly and I picked up a few playing tips that I would like to share. I hope they make sense.
1. At the end of the verse lines when it goes from C to an E and back to Am it's a walk down. Play the C chord, then play 2nd fret on the A string with the D open, then back to Am with emphasis on the open A string.
2. The Em's in the last two lines of each verse are E majors. He clearly frets the G string in the videos and Em doesn't sound right when playing along with him.
3. In the chorus play a regular C chord then drop your pinky on the third fret of the D string to make the sus 4th. It's not really a hammer on and pull off since it's strummed with emphasis.
4. When going from the G to the D in the chorus walk up to it by playing an open A string, 3rd fret on the A string, then the open D string.
5. The end of the bridge is insanely difficult vocally for mortals. If you cannot hit that high resolution note you can resolve it by dropping in an E major chord before going into the solo. It punctuates it nicely.
6. This is in 6/8 time. Strumming pattern is 1 2& 3& 4 5& 6&.Emphasis on 1 and 4.
