Cm B+
Have you heard the dogs at night
Cm7/Bb Fm7/Ab
Somewhere on the hill
Fm7 Cm/G
Chasing some poor criminal
Cm G G7
And I guess they're out to kill
Cm B+
Oh there must be shackles on his feet
Cm7/Bb Fm7/Ab
And mother in his eyes
Fm7 Cm/G
Stumbling through the devil-dark
Cm G G7
With the hound pack in full cry
Ab Bb
Have mercy on the criminal
Cm/G Cm/Bb Cm Cm/Eb Cm Cm/Bb Cm Cm
Who is run - ning from the law
Ab Bb
Are you blind to the winds of change
Cm/G Cm/Bb Cm Cm/Eb Cm Cm/Bb Cm Cm
Don't you hear him an - y more
Ab
Praying Lord you got to help me
Ab Cm/G Cdim
Fm7
I ain't ever gonna sin again
Cm Cm7/Bb Ab
Just take these chains from around my legs
G G7 Cm
Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
Cm B+
Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam
Cm7/Bb Fm7/Ab
While you lie on a cold damp ground
Fm7 Cm/G
You're taking in the face of a rifle butt
Cm G G7
While the wardens hold you down
Cm B+
And you've never seen a friend in years
Cm7/Bb Fm7/Ab
Oh it turns your heart to stone
Fm7 Cm/G
You jump the walls and the dogs run free
Cm G G7
And the grave's gonna be your home
Ab Bb
Have mercy on the criminal
Cm/G Cm/Bb Cm Cm/Eb Cm Cm/Bb Cm Cm
Who is run - ning from the law
Ab Bb
Are you blind to the winds of change
