Dr Dog – Im Standing In The Light chords
Chords:
Dr. Dog "Im Standing In the Light" A chord pattern that works for both his live version and album or "piano song" version as the other guy put it. It's a simple early Dylan like chord pattern. The Passed Away album I think is done mostly from old 2 track recordings. This particular song has like a muffled mellotron on it that I really love, and I like the overall, lo-fi, almost child like, feeling to it. And I love the words just as much. the rest of the chords are straight forward, these are just the variations I use to play this song:C F Em Am C7 --- --- ---- ---- -----0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 2 0 2 3 2 3 2 2 2 3 3 2 0 3 3 x 0 0 x --- --- ---- ---- ---- C F C F C Em Am F G CC F C FWell I set fire to an apple treeC Em AmAnd put it back out like a bad memoryF G CAnd I washed my hands in the floodC F C FWell I took a sip of the trouble Ive stirredF Em AmAnd I spit it back out like a four letter wordF G C And I lost my head in the fireC F C FWell I sat up high on the walls we builtEm Am And I felt just like a fool on stiltsF G C C7But I just can't get downF EmOlives, and a pair of eyesAm FAre floating in my glassC EmAnd nothing has ever seemed so strangeF G GmBut this I know will passWell Ive seen as far as the eye can see And I blew my mind in the lottery But I lost my chance Well Ive been told about the fiery skies And Ive told my fair share of lies But I believe in mine Well Ive known folks as smarts as dogs And Ive known folks like bumps on logs And theyre all fine by me Blue skies and my share of love Are somewhere in the past And nothing worth anything Is strong enough to last Well Ive done my time for the ills Ive caused And Ive paid my dues in the bets Ive lost And Ive got room enough to die Well Ive seen as far as my eyes can see And Ive tried my hand at the mystery Yet I walk in the land of the blind Yeah I made my bed in which I lie And Ive burnt the bridge to the other side And Im standing in the light
