Misc Originals – Aaron Segal - Black Dog In The Sun (Guitar)

G     C               G
  Beneath the midday sun,

G     C                   G
  a black dog finds her place,

G       C                   G    G/F#  Em
  No thoughts of what will come,

Am                     D
  Just soaking up the rays.

G      C              G
  Not bothered by a thing,

G       C              G
  she lounges without care,

G            C            G    G/F#  Em
  And as I clamor for approval,

Am                         D
  she simply breathes the air.

Am                          D
  Oh, the black dog in the sun,

G     D/F#           Em
  so carefree and serene,

Am                    D
  And while I seek acceptance,

G       D/F#             Em
  she's lost in her daydream.

                        Am                            D
I wonder what they'll think of me, my mind is on the run,

                   G               D/F# Em Em
I wish I could embrace the warmth,

Am  D                             
       like the black dog in the sun.

G       C                G
   I'm tangled in the threads

G     C                  G
   of people's pointed stares,

G            C                  G      G/F# Em
   But the black dog, she's unshackled,

Am                  D
   without a single care.

G     C            G
   I look for validation,

G     C             G
   in every move I make,

G             C             G      G/F# Em
   While she basks in her freedom,

Am                           D
   my heart feels stress and ache.

Am                          D
  Oh, the black dog in the sun,

G     G/F#            Em
  she has no mask to wear,

Am                           D
  And while I'm trapped in pretense,

G       D/F#             Em
  she's free from every snare.

Am                       D
   I worry what they'll say,

                        G        G/F#  Em
my thoughts run like a marathon, oooooohh

                   Am              D
I wish I could embrace the warmth,

                             G D/F# Em Em C C D D
  like the black dog in the sun.

Em   D/F#     G
  To be as unburdened as that

 Am7        D/F#    G    G7
dog laying in the light,

Em   D/F#          G
  No worries, no agenda,

Am                      D
  and no need to take flight.

Em     D/F#       G
  She teaches us quietly that

Am7     D/F#    G  G7
  life can be won,

Em       D/F#    G
  in the simple joys we find,

          Am       D       G
like the black dog in the sun.

Am                           D
   Oh, the black dog in the sun,

G    G/F#          Em
   a lesson to embrace,

Am                D
  In her simple existence,

G    G/F#         Em
 she finds her grace.

Am                        D
   I worry what they'll say,

                    G    G/F# Em
   till the day is done, oooooohh

                   Am
