F                
I was hungry and I was cold,  
 
      Dm    
had a father far too old  
  
          F                    G7         Cmaj7   C 
Couldn't make it to the place he'd like to be  
 
 
 
    F  
In a tree trunk in the park, 
 
       Dm  
he was living in the dark  
 
        G                D         G    
Keeping other dogs like him for company  
  
 
           F 
And in the evening I'd go down 
 
     Dm 
to a nightclub in the town  
  
        F                     G7      Cmaj7   C 
Try to get some bread to make another way  
 
 
 
F 
Back to the park I'd go, 
  
        Dm 
dig him out of the snow  
  
               G                D            G 
You know he's lived a thousand years day to day  
 
 
 
           Am 
Well, the days get shorter  
 
and the nights get longer  
 
And you never learn to know  
  
        Em   
If you love one another, 
 
could you look at each other  
 
Could it ever really show  
 
 
             Am 
And at this moment in time  
 
you couldn't make up your mind  
   
             F 
Now could you ever understand  
 
 
 
         C        F 
Are you following me  
  
           C            F     
just like Moses to the sea  
      
         E                  Am     G          F      
Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end  
      
 
 
          C             F 
When I'm long dead and gone 
       
            C            F         
will your love for me go on  
     
       E              Am   G           F         
Will I be the one you run to in the end  
 
C          Dm      C     F                  Eb 
   And     all     my   dogs  need a friend  
 
 
C  Eb   C 
  
 
           F                                  Dm   
It was a quarter to three in the summer of '73  
   
         F                 G7         Cmaj7   C 
When I heard somebody call outside my door  
   
                              F 
Said "Are you friend or are you foe"  
 
                Dm 
He looked up and he said  
    
             G              D    
No, but I'd like to come inside  
     
              G 
and know you more 
 
    
 
           Am 
Well, the days get shorter
