Dogs Are Barking

Tune down 1/2 step 


Intro: D 



[Verso 1]
 
D 
Home a day early from a deadhead run 
G 
Parked the Peterbilt out by the barn 
     Bb 
Everything looks the same in the midnight sun 
       C 
But the dogs are barking 
    D 
She met me with a kiss and a welcome home 
    G 
She baked a pound cake, had some coffee on 
      Bb 
But I couldn't shake that feeling that something's wrong 
          C 
'Cause the dogs are barking 
 


[Refrão]
 
D                              C 
Ooh, the sheriff don't make it this far out 
                   G/B 
But I got eyes and ears on the ground 
                 D 
And the dogs are barking 
                             C 
Ooh, they say the truth will set you free 
                G/B                            D 
But secrets are hard to keep when the dogs are barking 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D 
I had a trail-cam pointed at the drive to the house 
       G 
Took a walk in the woods and pulled the card out 
       Bb 
And it didn't take long to figure out 
       C 
Why the dogs were barking 
       D 
Twenty pictures of a banker's Cadillac 
        G 
Got him coming, got him going, got him coming back 
           Bb 
Caught 'em both red-handed in white and black 
         C 
While the dogs were barking 
 


[Refrão]
 
D                                     C 
Ooh, Sheriff Hughes, he don't make it this far out 
                   G/B 
But I got eyes and ears on the ground 
                 D 
And the dogs are barking 
                            C 
Ooh, went to the bank and I got me some cash 
                       G/B 
He waved at me, I just smiled back 
              D 
At a dead man walking 
           Bb 
A dead man walking  


Instrumental: 
C  D    Bb  C 


[Ponte]
 
        Bb 
The newspapers say that banker, he disappeared 
        C                          Bb 
Yeah, I read it in Spanish down here 
 


[Refrão]
 
D                     C 
Ooh, a Peterbilt in a peso town 
                      G 
Heard the States were running their hounds 
                       D 
But mine are here with me and they ain't talking 
                                     C 
Ooh, I bet she's wondering where her banker is now 
                               G 
I probably should have put him further down 
                    D 
'Cause the dogs are barking, oh 
                             C 
Ooh, they say the truth will set you free 
                G 
But secrets are hard to keep 
                  Bb     C 
When the dogs are barking 
             D 
The dogs are barking 
     Bb F    D 
The dogs are barking
