Mike Doughty - Year of the dog

^CTime tells butterfat lies Sweet lousy cupcakes of lies ^{G C}I'll comply and I shall play along I was born in the y^Gear of the dog^C And the b^Flue black tattoo, it crawled up my arm Scribbled vines crawling my arm ^C And a ro^Foster rose up and it cried an alarm Sounded alarming alarms ^C And l^Gaid on the lawn and the dawns Of the morning got warm ^{F C}Queer fear in severe clear Scrunch your fat face like a doll ^{G C}I got made in a candy floss smog I was born in the ^Gyear of the d^Cog And I d^Frove in my car where the hills stand to shore Over and down to the shore ^C Then I t^Fhrew out my dreams, so I'd dream them no more Drown them and dream them no mo^Cre Then I s^Gat and I stared at the waves From my primer gray F^Ford

And I'm ^Flistless and lost and I cry all the time Lost and I cry all the t^Cime And I ^Ffelt just the same, though I chuffed up a line High but I felt just the same ^C

And the st^Geam from my cup, a girl loved And it spelled out her name ^F
