[Intro]
B E x2
[Verse 1]
B
See the old man on the bridge
E
He's hauling up a sagging net
B E
It's full of eels twisting through
The eye sockets of a horse's head
B E
And this fiend has no family
B E
So he will outlive you and me
C#m F# E (rest for a beat before strumming the E)
[Verse 2]
B E
In the hospital you talked about
Thumbing down that truck ride for the first time
B
And the false friend kept his back turned!
E
That's when you learned the fierceness of man
Again, again, again!
B E
How long it took to reach the Sister Cities
B
And then somehow make it back
E
Just to tell me, "Yeah, I guess I'm still pretty mad."
[Hook]
C#m
Every other day, the same
F# E
Long road to the old man down the street
C#m
Neither one of you knows
F# E
What the flowers in your hand are supposed to mean
C#m F#
Red flowers against your, red flowers against your
E
Painted shut window
[Verse 3]
B
Help! My uncle's gone insane!
E
In his room he sits shaking a geranium!
B
Outside, the old dog resigned
E
Leaves heavy tracks for the father dragging the rifle to find
[Hook]
C#m
Every other day, the same
F# E
Long road to the old man down the street
C#m F#
Do you think someday, through all the flowers
E
Your eyes finally will meet?
Where he'll tell you
C#m F#
"Honey, you know I had to shoot that dog you loved so much
E
You know I had to do it
C#m F#
"Aw, honey you know I had to shoot that dog you loved so much
E
You know I had to do it."
C#m F#
"Oh yeah, I know you had to shoot that dog I loved so much!
E
I know you had to do it!"
