[Intro/Outro] Johnny plays the chords loosely, even more so during the outro. e|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| B|7-------2-------|7---------2-----|7----------2----|7---------2-----|----2-------2---|----2---| G|7-------2-------|7---------2-----|7----------2----|7--------2------|----2-------2---|----2---| D|7-------2-------|7---------------|7---------------|7---------------|----------------|--------| A|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0------0|0-----0-0-----0-|0-----0-| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| [First Chorus] e|----------2-----|----------------|----------2-----|----------------|----------------| B|--2---0-------3-|--3---3---3---0h|2-2---0-------3-|--3---3---3---3-|--3---3---3---0h| G|--2-------------|----------------|--2-------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|0---0---0---0---|----2-----------|0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---| A|0---0---2-------|----------------|0-------2-------|----------------|----------------| E|------------2---|----------------|------------2---|----------------|----------------| [Verse] There's lots of variation in the verse: The accented note in the chord in the 2nd and 4th measures varies, and he sometimes omits the measures. The 0h1 timing varies, but he mainly plays it so G1 is landed on when E0 is plucked. e|-----------0----|--2---2---2-----|-----------0----|--2---2---2-----| B|2-2-------------|--3---3---3---0h|2-2-------------|--3---3---3---0h| G|--2---0h1-----0-|----------------|--2---0h1-----0-|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|0---------------|2---------------|0---------------|2---------------| E|----0---0---0---|----2---2---2---|----0---0---0---|----2---2---2---| [Refrain] Like the Verse, this section is loosely structured, but follows an A-E-D progression; root notes are accurate. The G(2) is just fretted not plucked, I think it sounds right to keep that D chord shape. Hammer-on timings vary, but are mostly quicker than those in the verse, listen to {00:51 - 01:50} for clarity. e|----------0-----|--2-------0h2---|----------0-----|--2-------0h2---| B|2-2-------------|--3-------3---0h|2-2-------------|--3-------3---0h| G|--2---0h1-1---0-|------0(2)------|--2---0h1-1---0-|------0(2)------| D|----------------|--------0-------|----------------|--------0-------| A|0---------------|2-----------0---|0---------------|2-----------0---| E|----0---0---0---|----2-----------|----0---0---0---|----2-----------| [Last Refrain] e|------0---0---0-|--2-------0h2---| B|2-2---0---0---0-|--3---0---3-----| G|--2-------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------0-----| A|0---------------|2---------------| E|----0---0---0---|----2-----------| [Bridge] On the third repetition, replace the last measure with the alternative measure. The fingerpicking pattern isn't exactly consistent, notice alt has a different pattern than the preceding measures. You can listen to the song {02:04 - 02:33}, or just mess around here, it's supposed to be chaotic. e|----9-----------9---------9-----|----7-----------7---------7-----|----10----------10--------10----| B|----------0-----8-----0---------|----------8-----------8---------|----------10----------10--------| G|----6-------6-----------6---6---|----------------9---------------|----------------11--------------| D|7-------7-----------7-----------|----9-------9-----------9---9---|----12------12----------12--12\-| A|--------------------------------|7-------7-----------7----------/|12------12----------12----------| E|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| e|----5-----------5---9-----------| e|----5-----------5---------------| B|----------5---------8-----------| B|----------5-----------5---5-----| G|----------------6---6-----------| x3 alt: G|----------------6---------------| D|----7-------7-------7-----------| D|----7-------7-----------7-------| A|7-------7-----------------------| A|7-------7-----------7-------7---| E|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------| The fingerpicked shapes begin to devolve into strummed chords, and the lyrics come in. The strumming pattern mimics the fingerpicking pattern, {02:42 - 03:21} in song for reference.

[Intro]
I saw prayers being made with
plastic rosaries
Carpets laid,
no thought for furniture...
[First Chorus]
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying...
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying...
[Verse]
As I crept wayward cracking bones
The steeple rose, the way unknown.
The steeple jarred I set me down
And listened to the furnished ground.
[Refrain]
[Verse]
"She saith soft things," said one who lay -
I turned to see the one turn grey!
An ash-burnt brim with naught he wept
But to the ground my ear had bent.
[Refrain]
[Verse]
Say softer things than e'er," saith I
The while my horse had run a mile
And lying in the black I wept -
For ne'er a lad so wayward crept.
[Refrain]
[Verse]
Listening hard I felt too young -
The waywards talk with older tongues..
[Last Refrain]
[Bridge]
SCREWS ON!
SCREWS UP!
LEFT DOWN!
LIP OUT!
Burned by day!
Marooned by night!
Lost in a battle and found in a fight
Creep off ash-stained
Jump off, six lanes
One left and one gone!
None left and I'm gone!
I'm gone! I'm gone! I'm gone!
[Outro]
I saw prayers being made with,
plastic rosaries
Carpets laid,
no thought for furniture
[Second Chorus]
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying...
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying...
