Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

The A* and the A chord are slightly

different from eachother. From the

a-chord, the second fret of the

b-string should be hammered on while

strumming between these two chords.

Variate a bit with the D-chord every

now and then at the end of each sentence.

Intro

* x2

Verse

 A rife sits behind her sleeping ear

Echo on the cold wall, closest neighbour couldn’t hear

 We dug a hole in the fall____

 So now it’s a frozen burial

  | | ( * ) x2

And she’s gone__, just before the new year

 Well i’m gonna build a cross for her spot between the trees

 And stick it in firm so it won’t sway in the breeze

You and i have trouble making up our half-assed minds

 But she’d seen sixteen years__ of our kind

| | ( * ) x2

What’s it like___|, when your memories start to freeze

Oh__and i wonder__

 What it is about dogs and thunder__

What they hear, coming over the field___

Back hall shelter, warm nights in summer

Shaking the ground that you lie under

 Well i know you’re not here

  * ( * ) x2

But at least you don’t feel it anymore__

 And i came to see you, on the day that it happened

 You said “Hey sorry Sar, but i gotta go”

 And i was trying to read, some sort of reaction

Something you just can’t show

 So i guess it’s time i go

 Across the snowy barnyard, just pas the driving shed

Shadow of me in the moon, well i was in the movie in my head

 This pile of dirt on the ground

 Will sink when nobody’s around

Winter covers everything, but everything’s not dead

Oh__and i wonder__

 What it is about dogs and thunder__

What they hear, coming over the field___

Back hall shelter, warm nights in summer

Shaking the ground that you lie under

 Well i know you’re not here

 But at least you don’t feel it anymore__
