3-Legged Dog
From the album Milk and Scissors

Intro:
C Ab (x2)

Verse 1:
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
🎸

Pre-chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Verse 2:
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

Pre-chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Interlude:
G E

Verse 3:
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

Pre-chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Outro:
G E
