BLACK DOG ON MY SHOULDER

A						 Em7
There's a black dog on my shoulder again
G						 A
Licking my neck and saying she's my friend
A						   Em7
Soltitude the one thing that I really miss
G					A
Guess my life is a compromise

	    Em		  Em7		 G	A
There's a black dog on my shoulder again
    F#m		   F#m7			A	B	
I'm playing with it, but it's gone to my head
	  Em			 Em7		 G	 A
Like carlito's way there are no exit signs

D			 G
Freeze me there until I'm numb
D		G
My mouth is so dry
D		G
my eyes are shut tight
	    Em	    Em7	  G	 A
There's a black dog a coming tonight
D		 G			D	G
Black dogs a coming tonight

Em  G  A

A			     Em7
My dilemma, but not my choice
G					    A
Winston Churchill can you hear my voice
A			            Em7
Melodrama there in my kitchen sink
G				    A
Double vision the way it is

Em		Em7		  G	A
Am I coming home to you again
   F#m	   F#m7	 A	B
Or am I stupid just by design
	  Em		    Em7	    G	   A
Does it matter if you really ever know

D			G
This black dog is out of control
D		G	
My mouth is so dry
D		G
my eyes are shut tight
	   Em		    Em7	  G	 A
There's a black dog a coming tonight
D		 G			D	G
Black dogs a coming tonight

Does it matter if you really ever know
