Black Dog Sin Chords

* denotes a single strum
 
 
[Verse 1]
          Em*
There's a black dog beneath my skin
   Em           G
Eyeless, grinning
           Em
So I met a nun and a mystic, at the fork in the road
                G
They said "Your child is behind you, wet hair, painted toes
          Em
There are smugglers, jugglers, a bear on its chain
         G                                                Em
Wear bluebells in your hat, if you're going that way.
   G
Uh-huh
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
             A
What does it mean then?
                C
It's all just a dream then
                   Em
By the time I woke up
 
[Chorus]
Em
Cough syrup and amphetamines, we could sleep under the evergreens
Em
I'm a little saint I'm a little sinner, every day you're looking better
 
G  C G  C G  B* B*
 
[Verse 2]
Em                        G
Words were written on the walls
         Em              G
My white blood in capitals
        Em
Well, I spoke to the captain, he won't turn around
             G
He said "The sun is an orange, and the wind's just the sound
       Em                                                G
Of our brothers and sisters, lovers and those that we'll
                Em      G
Never know." Uh-huh, uh-huh
 
Em D G
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        A*
I am no leader
           C*
I'm just a soldier
            A*
And they're going door to door
    C*
But I can't fight anymore
 
Em  B Em  B7
 
[Chorus 2]
Em
Cough syrup and amphetamines
                         B
We could sleep under the evergreens
Em
I'm a little saint, I'm a little sinner
              B7
Every day I'm looking thinner
 
G  C G  C G  C C G  C G  C G  C G
 
[Outro]
         C G  C    G
There is e----evil in
