All The Dogs Are Lying Down
Capo:5th fret

I saw prayers being made with plastic rosaries

Carpets laid, no thought for furniture...

All the dogs are lying down

E B7
As I crept wayward cracking bones
F#m A
The steeple rose, the way unknown.
E B7
The steeple jarred I set me down
F#m
And listened to the furnished ground.
E B7 F#m A x2
E B7
"She saith soft things," said one who lay -
F#m A
I turned to see the one turn grey!
E B7
An ash-burnt brim with naught he wept
F#m
But to the ground my ear had bent.
E B7 F#m A x2
E B7
"Say softer things than e'er," saith I
F#m
The while my horse had run a mile
E B7
And lying in the black I wept -
F#m
For ne'er a lad so wayward crept.
E B7 F#m A x2

Listening hard I felt too young -
F#m
The waywards talk with older tongues...

LEFT DOWN!
LIP OUT!

Burned by day!
Marooned by night!

Lost in a battle and found in a fight

Creep off ash-stained

Jump off, six lanes

One left and one gone!

None left and I'm gone!

[Intro]
I saw prayers being made with
plastic rosaries
Carpets laid,
no thought for furniture...
[First Chorus]
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying...
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying...
[Verse]
As I crept wayward cracking bones
The steeple rose, the way unknown.
The steeple jarred I set me down
And listened to the furnished ground.
[Refrain]
[Verse]
"She saith soft things," said one who lay -
I turned to see the one turn grey!
An ash-burnt brim with naught he wept
But to the ground my ear had bent.
[Refrain]
[Verse]
Say softer things than e'er," saith I
The while my horse had run a mile
And lying in the black I wept -
For ne'er a lad so wayward crept.
[Refrain]
[Verse]
Listening hard I felt too young -
The waywards talk with older tongues..
[Last Refrain]
[Bridge]
SCREWS ON!
SCREWS UP!
LEFT DOWN!
LIP OUT!
Burned by day!
Marooned by night!
Lost in a battle and found in a fight
Creep off ash-stained
Jump off, six lanes
One left and one gone!
None left and I'm gone!
I'm gone! I'm gone! I'm gone!
[Outro]
I saw prayers being made with,
plastic rosaries
Carpets laid,
no thought for furniture
[Second Chorus]
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying...
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying...
