Give me a dollar or give me 50 cents
Let me take it back if that ain't what I meant
Give me a coat or give me a bite
Give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright
Give me the moon or give me everywhere
Give me some powder to spray up in the air
[Chorus]
Let me take my thoughts away to think about another day
Remembering the times I pray to help me deal with me
To be the dogman
Give me some attention lend me your ear
Give me what to do and get me out of here
Give me a book give me something to read
Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead
[Chorus]
All the sleeping never waking all the leaves in need of raking
All the business undertaking all my bones and muscles aching
Thoughts and mind are surely flaking over luncheons hands are shaking
Surety of no mistaking cars and horns and glass is breaking
Give me a color make it black or white
Give me a newspaper tell me if it's right
Give me a nail or give me a bat
Give me a skinny or give me a fat
[Chorus]

Give me a dollar or give me 50 cents
Let me take it back if that ain't what I meant
Give me a coat or give me a bite
Give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright
Give me the moon or give me everywhere
Give me some powder to spray up in the air
[Chorus]
Let me take my thoughts away to think about another day
Remembering the times I pray to help me deal with me
To be the dogman
Give me some attention lend me your ear
Give me what to do and get me out of here
Give me a book give me something to read
Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead
[Chorus]
All the sleeping never waking all the leaves in need of raking
All the business undertaking all my bones and muscles aching
Thoughts and mind are surely flaking over luncheons hands are shaking
Surety of no mistaking cars and horns and glass is breaking
Give me a color make it black or white
Give me a newspaper tell me if it's right
Give me a nail or give me a bat
Give me a skinny or give me a fat
[Chorus]

Gtr one is two distorted guitars, panned left and right, arranged for one guitar.
It's still totally accurate, because one guitar merely plays chords while the other
plays fills (harmonics etc) so you don't miss out on anything.
The harmonic fills in the verse are played in a very percussive manner, and get
progressively more so throughout the song. I've tried to notate it, but listen to
the record to get the right feel. Lastly, the harmonic lick in measures 38 and 39,
is basically just Ty percussively attacking the strings while sliding up and down
the neck to find the harmonic nodes.

version 3
Tuning: Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Author unregistered_5681186 1,288. , last edit on Jan 06, 2020.
Song: Dogman
Artist: King's X
Tabbed by: bmchrestoff (April 1996 - May 1996)
Important Performance Notes: 1) Come on...Without a doubt the coolest opening riff ever in a rock song
2 )I will admit I used a VHS video of Ty Tabor I shot from the front
row of a King's X concert in Houston, TX to help me figure out the less
obvious performance aspects of this song
3) Ty Tabor clearly opens the song w/ a full on D7#9 Hendrix chord grip
4) Ty makes full use of Eric Lifeson's Trademark Open G Drone throughout
the entire song
5) The song is performed in a half step down Drop D tuning [Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb]
6) Ty uses a chugging muted strum pattern at roughly the 4th fret
alternating between the 2 to 3 bottom low strings and the 2 to 3 top high
strings all the while pulling out artificial harmonics on the low E string
here and there during the verse sections of the song
7) Ty double tracks his guitar through the entire song performance
8) The Interlude is interesting in that Ty uses Guitar 2 to perform a sort of
musical "call and answer" w/ himself. I tabbed out both guitar parts
9) The start of (what I call) Verse 7 Ty changes things up a bit by, at
least in his live performance, pulling artificial harmonics at the 3rd,
5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12 frets in a roughly D, B, G, e string pattern.
Only g0D knows what he is actually doing on the actual recording
10) As always the intent here is not to provide every fill and nuance but to
give the basic chord shapes and fingerings so you can have fun learning
to play the song relatively correct and impress your friends

Let me take it back if that ain't what I meant
Give me a coat or give me a bite
Give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright
Give me the moon or give me everywhere
Give me some powder to spray up in the air
[Chorus]
Let me take my thoughts away to think about another day
Remembering the times I pray to help me deal with me
To be the dogman
Give me some attention lend me your ear
Give me what to do and get me out of here
Give me a book give me something to read
Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead
[Chorus]
All the sleeping never waking all the leaves in need of raking
All the business undertaking all my bones and muscles aching
Thoughts and mind are surely flaking over luncheons hands are shaking
Surety of no mistaking cars and horns and glass is breaking
Give me a color make it black or white
Give me a newspaper tell me if it's right
Give me a nail or give me a bat
Give me a skinny or give me a fat
[Chorus]
