I Won't Be Your Dog Any More
Paul adds a C (2nd string, 1st fret) to the Em at the end of every 2nd bar
on the verses (most of the time anyway!), but I haven't written them in.

Up and down the Morgan Line Crows are crying all around me In a sky where the

2.I've been taking scraps from back doors
I've been hiding in the cane
I've been fighting over morsels
And I've been slinking back again
I've been building up a reputation
On the levee, all across the plain
3.Now the mangrove sun is sinking
And the moon is bloody red
Every gun is clean and loaded
Lying by a feather bed
Far and wide goes my description
And the price is rising on my head
4.Inst.
5.I've been drinking muddy water
I've been keeping way down low
All I hear is my own breathing
All I see is a distant glow
All I have is tearing me up
Wearing me down
Just won't let me go
