Tom: D
D A D G
As I rode to your house I was beaten and robbed
D A D
By a band of moon-faced vagabonds
D A D G
They were rifling through my pockets and untying my shoes
D A D
When the air began to boil
[Chorus]
A D
Slow is the black dog in the sky
A D
Who pisses and slobbers all over the world
G D
From Belford to Wooler, to Beadnell and Ford
Bm A D
He slowly devours the land
[Bridge]
D A D G
I did not see what occurred but I heard their awful sounds
D A D
And smelled the perfume of death
D A D G
When I opened my eyes the Sun no longer shined
D A D
For those poor children
[Verse 2]
D A D G
Here I lie in the mud, my waistcoat caked in blood
D A D
Not able to stand of my own volition
D A D G
A flash of lightning illuminates the belly of the beast
D A D
I see entrails dripping in the trees
[Chorus]
A D
Slow is the black dog in the sky
A D
Who pisses and slobbers all over the world
G D
From Belford to Wooler, to Beadnell and Ford
Bm A D
He slowly devours the land
[Verse 3]
D A D G
Now I run through the night though my bones are on fire
D A D
To see you in the bosom of the hills
D A D G
Through an ocean of fog I am ceaselessly drawn
D A D
To the lantern in your window
D A D
To the lantern in your window
D A D
To the lantern in your window
D A D
To the lantern in your window
