Dr. Dog  "Im Standing In the Light"
C  F   C F   C Em Am   F G C
CWell I set Ffire to an apple CtreeF  
And pCut it baEmck out like a bad mAmemory
And I Fwashed my hands in Gthe floodC  
CWell I took a Fsip of the trouble CIve stirredF  
And FI spit it back oEmut like a four leAmtter word
And I lFost my head Gin the fireC  
WCell I sat up hFigh on the wallCs we builtF  
And I feEmlt just like a fooAml on stilts
BuFt I just Gcan't get CdownC7  
[Chorus]
OlFives, and a pair of eEmyes
Are fAmloating in my glassF  
And nothCing has ever seemed so stEmrange
But Fthis I know will GpassGm  
[Verse]
Well Ive Cseen as faFr as the eCye can seFe
And I Cblew my Emmind in the AmlotterAm/Gy
But FI lGost my Cchanceз
Well CIve been tFold about the Cfiery Fskies
And ICve Emtold my fair Amshare Am/Gof lies
But FI Gbelieve in Cmine
Well CIve known Ffolks as sCmart as Fdogs
And CIve known Emfolks like Ambumps on Am/Glogs
FAnd they're all Gfine by Cme
[Chorus]
FBlue skies and my Emshare of love
Are sAmomewhere in the Gpast
And Fnothing worth Emanything
Is Amstrong enough to Glast
CWell Ive done my Ftime for the Cills Ive cFaused
ACnd Ive paid my Emdues in the Ambets Ive Am/Glost
And Ive got rFoom enouGgh to Cdie
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
