Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
As [D]I rode to your
[A]house I was [D]beaten and [G]robbed
[A]By [D]a band of [A]moon- faced [D]vagabonds
They were rifling through my pock
[A]ets and [D]untying my [G]shoes
When the [D]air [A]began to boil

[Verse 2]
[D]Slow [G]is [A]the black dog in the[D] sky
Who [A]pisses [Bb]and s[A]lobbers
all [D]over the world
From [G]Belford to Wooler,
[D]to Beadnell and Ford
[Bm]He slowly [D]dev[A]ours the[G] lan[D]d

[Verse 3]
I did [D]not see what [A]occurred but
I [D]heard their awful [G]sounds
[D]And smelled the [A]perfume of [D]death
When I opened [A]my [Bb]eyes[A]
the [D]Sun no longer [G]shined
[D]For those [A]poor [D]children
[Eb][D]

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 4]
Here I [D]lie in the [A]mud,
my waist[D]coat caked in [G]blood
Not [D]able to [A]stand of my own [D]volition
A flash of lightning [A]illuminates
the [D]belly [G]of the beast
[D]I see e[A]ntrails dripping in t[D]he trees

[Verse 5]
[G]
[A]Slow is the black dog in the [D]sky
[A]Who pisses and slobbers
all [D]over the world
From [G]Belford to Wooler,
[D]to Beadnell and Ford
[Cm]He slowly [D]dev[F]ours [A]the la[G]nd[D][Eb]
Now [D]I

[Verse 6]
run through the [A]night[Bb]
though my [D]bones are on [G]fire
To [D]see you in [A]the bosom of the [D]hills
[Eb]Through [D]an ocean of [A]fog I
am [D]ceaselessly [G]drawn[D]
To the lantern [A]in your [D]win[D]dow
To the lantern [A]in your win[D]dow[D]
To [A]the lantern [D]in your window
[D]To [A]the lantern in your window

[Outro 1]
[D]
