Transpose

Year: 2021
Album: Song of Co-Aklan

VERSE 1

Am

I’m with the passed-out dog

Am

A chain around my

Bm

fist

C#m

The

Dm

warehouse clock reads ten to four

And the

E

darkness billows

Am

mist

VERSE 2

Am

They said this would not come

Am

Trouble was in re

Bm

treat

Now

C#m

I’ve got

Dm

human bone meal in my hair

Cotton

E

threads between my

Am

teeth

Am

I’m with the passed-out

Dm

dog

Another hungry

F

day

F

Where are your masters,

C9

boy?

Their kind will blaze a

Gm

way

They’ll bring a big brass

Dm

band

And wear dress uni

F

forms

The sense of savoir-

Cm/D#

faire

That lets you laugh at

Gm

storms

And the passed-out

Cm/G

dog

Oh my, how very

Am

odd

VERSE 3

Am

I’m with the passed-out dog

Am

I’m from a better

Bm

life

C#m

With

Dm

food on shelves and speak-and-spell

E

Mother said “Don’t you

Am

fight”

VERSE 4

Am

I could avert my gaze

Am

’til sky and earth just

Bm

flipped

And

C#m

there were

Dm

empty bellies, grasping paws

The

E

future had been a

Am

trick

Am

I’m with the passed-out

Dm

dog

Think what these walls have

F

seen

The melted golden

C9

calf

Scalding out the

Gm

spleens

They’ll bring a big brass

Dm

band

They’ll line them up to

F

play

They’ll ask which town they’re

Cm/D#

from

And then they’ll blaze a

Am

way

I’m with the passed-out

Cm/G

dog

I think a tomb’s been

Am

robbed

BRIDGE

Fm

Throw a party and sell some product

Fm

The good family always rallies

Bb

round

(Yours we know, yours we

Fm

know)

Fm

You’ve got a lockup full of floral wet wipes

Fm

You don’t know your up-line from your

Bb6

down

(A limited time offer)

C#maj7#5

It makes no

B9b5

move at all

The

Gaug

limbs grow stiff, a

Am

blackbird

calls

VERSE 5/OUTRO

Am

I’m with the passed-out

Am

dog

Am

A chain around my

Bm

fist

C#m

An

Dm

engine throbs beyond this wall

And

E

headlamps light the

Am

mist
