You're a gentleman born to rove

D-               |A-            |
Black dog don't believe in sin
D-                |A-               |
Think of where the black dog's been
D-            |E          |A-   |/ ||/ |/ |/ |/ |
Think of where he's been today

Have you seen the black dog's teeth
Sharp, like a knife
Have you seen them tear upon a throat
To take a life

CHORUS

Have you seen black dog's eyes
Starin' at the fire
It would not occur to him
To question your desire

CHORUS

I’ve always had a fear of creatures
Cryin' in the dark
And every form of evil
Seems to bear an evil mark

CHORUS

My woman lays beside me
And my black dog at my feet
She keeps me from my wandering life
And he robs me of my sleep

CHORUS

I don't know the black dog's name
When I call him, he don't come
How'd I get this black dog
Lord I never wanted one

CHORUS
