The Handsome Family – 3-Legged Dog (Guitar)

C                Am
Like a 3-legged dog

                  G   E
you've called in sick

C                         Am
Sure there's seconds of pleasure

            G              E
but so many    moments of pain

F               C
And you can't snap your fingers

F              C
and you don't talk so straight

F               C
You want to be loved,

                        Am         E
but you probably can't make it anyway

F                  C
Now the ground is cold (Now the ground is cold)

F                     C
and there's no fire around (There's no fire)

F              C
An absence of fire

                Am            E
and you're just co-          old

C                   Am
And I've seen this dog

        G   E
in my sleep

C             Am
He chases my father, too,

          G                  E
when he dreams between the sheets

F                      C
But we all think it's time for you to

F                                      C
quit -- take a last swig of that cabernet

F                    C
But, I tell you my friend

            Am      E
I won't forget you

F                     C
And the world's not clean (And the world's not clean)

F                             C
but they get mad when you're dirty (When you're dirty)

F                       C
If you've handled some food,

            Am           E
you better wash          up

C               Am
Like a 3-legged dog

               G   E
you got three feet

C               Am
You can't walk fast or fuck,

       G              E
but you still get in heat

F          C
You can't wag your ears or

F          C
flap your tail,

F                    C
but I still see you wandering

             Am           E
down by the wishing      well

F                    C
When the ground was young (When the ground was young)

F               C
and caves were cold,

F                      C
you've stayed out all night

                    Am       E
and you're just too o-       old
