(Am)Have you heard the (Esus4)dogs at night(E)

(Am)Somewhere (C)on the (Dm)hill

(Dm7)Chasing some poor (Am)criminal

And I guess they're out to (Esus4)kill(E)

Oh there (Am)must be shackles (Esus4)on his feet(E)

And (Am)mother (C)in his (Dm)eyes `

(Dm7)Stumbling through the (Am)devil-dark

With the hound pack in full (Esus4)cry(E)

Have (F)mercy on the (G)criminal

Who is (Am)running from the law

Are you (F)blind to the (G)winds of change

Don't you (Am)hear him any more

Praying (Am)Lord you got to help me

(Dm)I am never gonna sin a(F)gain

Just (Am)take these (C)chains from a(D)round my legs

Sweet (F)Jesus I'll (E)be your (Am)friend(E)

Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam?

While you lie on a cold damp ground

You're taking in the face of a rifle butt

While the wardens hold you down

And you've never seen a friend in years

Oh it turns your heart to stone

You jump the walls and the dogs run free

And the grave's gonna be your home
