K9s Lament


Verse 1: C G Am F I knew a man that I will never forget C G Am F But nobody ever remembers the pet C G Am F He took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroid C G Am F He said he was looking for a droid C G Am F He was my master, his attention I did crave C G Am F To him, I was nothing more than a slave C G Am F We saved creatures all across the galaxy C G Am F But nobody ever thought to save me Pre-chorus: Am F C G And I wonder what life would be like if Am F C G I could choose not to say affirmitive Am F C G People tell me what to do and I just roll along Am F C G But inside my metal head I?m singing my song Chorus: C G Am F Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me? C G Am F I?m a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be C G Am F I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones C G Am F Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone C G Am F Oh no Verse 2: C G Am F He gave me to Sarah Jane as a gift C G Am F but I wasn?t consulted, I was a little miffed C G Am F Is this what I?m reduced to, a casual memento? C G Am F I?ve seen all of creation, but to it I?m incidental C G Am F But there?s more to this automaton than they will ever know C G Am F I?m more than just alloys and circuits, I have soul C G Am F And I?ve got dreams just like everybody else C G Am F I could conquer the world if I could conquer myself Pre-chorus: Am F C G And I wonder what life would be like if Am F C G I could choose not to say affirmitive Am F C G People tell me what to do and I just roll along Am F C G But inside my metal head I?m singing my song Chorus: C G Am F Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me? C G Am F I?m a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be C G Am F I see other dogs in the park, They're fetching sticks and digging bones C G Am F Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone C G Am F Oh no
