[Verse 1]
Am             C
Every night he waits
                       G
For his master to come home
Am*           C
By himself he lays on the road
     G                Em*   Em**
All alone, he doesn't moan

[Verse 2]
Am             C
Eight o'clock, soon
                       G
His only master will appear
      Am              C
He'll wag his tail, though it seems so long
              G                Em*   Em**
Since he was here, it's been a year

[Verse 3]
   C                         G
He used to come home with a bone
         Am                   G
And he thought he'd never be alone
C                         Am
He would curl up with him there by the fire
   G                    Em*            Em**
On cold winter's nights so long ago

[Verse 4]
Am                  C
Poor dog can hear a siren
                   G
That echoes in the night
  Am             C                       G
A cringe of fear he recalls a year ago tonight
                                  Em*       Em**
That flashing light, he died that night

[Outro]
   C                         G
He used to come home with a bone
         Am                   G
And he thought he'd never be alone
C                         Am
He would curl up with him there by the fire
   G                    Em*            Em**
On cold winter's nights so long ago    so long ago
Em*            Em**            Em
So long ago    So long ago     So long ago
