[Primeira Parte]

   Bm            E              D
At midnight, the dogs gathered around the
  A
House
                G
Around her house (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Bm             E        D
 Her heart was like a drawer
         G               D
She only opened when she went
        G                  D
Out to feed those dogs and let her memories
G
Bathe
       G               E
In the moonlight for a while (Ooh-ooh-ooh)


[Refrão]

Bm                E                D
  Those were the dogs owned by the girls
    A                 G
Who died in that house (Ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bm     E        D              G
  Meeting every night, keeping vigil in the
 D
Place (Oh)
            G            D
Where their people went away
             A                     G
And so she'd wake the rest of her nights in
         A D
That house
A               G               D
Feeding all the hounds at its mouth


[Instrumental]

        A   B  D
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 B  D  G  D  G  E
    B    D           B
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
           D           Em G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
   D     G  D D D
Oh-oh-oh-oh
           D            Bm
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh


[Segunda Parte]

Bm           E                   D
On her first night wandering through the
 A
Dark (Ooh-ooh)
                G
Of her new house (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Bm   E         D
  Solemn as a bride
                       G
That's when she first saw them (Ooh)
        D              G               D
Out the kitchen window right at 12 o'clock
(Ooh)
         G                            E7
A dozen silent dogs of all different type
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)


[Refrão]

Bm           E               D
  She almost was one of the girls
      A               G
Who died in that house (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Bm                 E    D
  So when it was stigmatized
            A                  G
She took it on to start a new life in that
   D
House (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
A            G           D
Be the token coin in its mouth (Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh)
A                 G
Maybe with enough time tending to that
 A     D
Ground (Ooh-ooh)
A                G            D
She can heal the heart of her house (Ooh)
A                G            D    A D
Feeding all the hounds at its mouth (Ooh)
