Have you heard [G] the dogs at night _ [Eb] _ somewhere _ _ [Fm] on the hill _
_ _ _ _ Kissing some _ [Cm] old criminal _ _ And I guess they're out [G] to kill _
_ Oh, _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] there must be shackles [G] on his feet _ _ [Eb] And mother _ in [Ab] his [Fm] eyes
_ _ _ _ _
Stumbling through the [Cm] devil's door _ With a hound [Fm] packed in [Cm] [G] for _ prey

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] I've never [Cm] seen _ [G] a friend for years _ [Eb] Where it turns your heart to [Fm] stone _
_ You've _ [Ab] chopped the walls and [Cm] the docks run free _ And the _ grave's gonna be [G] your _ _ home _ _
I'm _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
