Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Part 1

 
G
If you didn’t care what happened to me
C G
And I didn’t care for you
G
We would zig-zag our way through the boredom and pain
C G
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
G
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
C G
And watching for pigs on the wing
 

Part 2

 
G
You know that I care what happens to you
C G
And I know that you care for me too
G
So I don’t feel alone or the weight of the stone
C G
Now that I’ve found somewhere safe to bury my bone
G
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
C G
A shelter from pigs on the wing
 

Practice tip: Focus on the simple G to C chord change, keeping your strumming hand relaxed and steady throughout.
