[Em][C][G][Bm][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Lately the smoke from [Asus4]the burning [D]bus[Bm]hes,
[Em]Has the eye and [G]the [Asus4]mouth tast[D]ing ashes,[Bm]
[Em]For the price we've the[Asus4]
[D]haze of [Bm]Olympus,
[G]Amb[Em]ling by the[C] Children's Farm,
[G]Imitating[Em] the rive[C]r's calm,
[G]Liberate[Em]d, the[C] heart, from alarm
On [Am]this [D]dog's day.

[D][Bm][D][Em][A][D][Bm]

[Verse 2]
[Em]While it l[G]asted the [A]morning long[D],[Bm]
[Em]Came the f[G]eeling of so[Asus4]mething wron[D]g,[Bm]
[Em]As you knew that[G] it wo[Asus4]uld befo[D]re long,[Bm]
[G]A g[Em]rave exp[C]ectation,
[G]So the [Em]hackles did [C]raise some,
[G]O it nev[Em]er stays und[C]er even on
[Am]A do[D]g's day,
[G]You start looking for target
[Em]s for your arr[C]ows,
[G]A b[C]loody s[Em]heath for
your [C]eager [G]blade,
[C]Dark [Em]clouds for the [C]sun
[Am]to shroud[D][G]
On [Am]this [D]dog's [G]day.

[Verse 3]
[C]Hills become [G]mountains,
[Em]sheer cliffs be[D]side,
[C]Fickle elatio[G]n meekly tur[D]ns its tail, digs a hole and dies.

[Interlude 2]

[G][Em][C]

[Verse 4]
The [Em]shrill cries of battle [G]from
[D]gamboling [Bm]spawn,
[Em]Terriers come at [G]a clip [D]across [Bm]the lawn,
[Em]The mothers' competitions,
[G]the[D] fathers' stifled yaw[Bm]ns
[D]In this [G]haz[Em]y picnic sea[C]son,
[G]light bee[Em]r and gen[C]tle tre[Em]ason.
Why would [Asus4]it give

[Verse 5]
[D]rise to an [Bm]anger?
[Em]Could this city outd[G]o it[D]s own lang[Bm]uor
While [Em]tumbling bod[G]ies
of [D]chil[Em]dren [Bm]figure
[G]As target[Em]s for your ar[C]rows,
[G]Little mar[Em]ks for your sea[C]soned eye,
[G]Such a viole[Em]nce und[C]erlying
[Am]this [D]dog's [G]day.
Why don't you dis[Em]pense
with your [C]secrets,
[G]Give your ram[Em]bling blo[C]od a rest,
[G]Let the[Em] world be kin[C]d to you[Am][D][G]
[Am]on t[D]his [G]do[Am]g's da[D]y.
[G]
