TRACKING – capo 4
A Dm (bar)
They think they've tracked my trail
Following my tail so long and
yet to no avail
I’ve long smelled them there
and believe me I'm prepared

A Dm C G
Because I've done the numbers
You bet I've done the math
A Dm
And when all of this is over
C G
they’ll wish they took a different path
I bark taunts into the darkness
So they know I've not been lost
And when they think they've caught me
They will see the cost

G F E
E F G G# ABar nightmare

A C
There's a train a-coming
F E
Following my tracks
A C
My timing is impeccable
F
I've taken countless packs out
E
Underneath its wheels
A
The world so turns
C
That dogs will die
F
Before they've earned
E
The right to say
A C
they've hunted me successfully
F E7
I turn to see I flash a grin expect a sneer up to the end and yet instead

F#m E A A7
F#m E
I look into their fearful eyes
A A7
Too afraid to ask for mercy
F#m E A
It's all come together there's no escape
A7
their end approaches quickly at my claws
F#m
Kindergarten lessons cast aside
E A
No place left to hide from righteous cause
A7
Was I justified?
F#m
Should I have kept my muzzle on
E
Not spurred this thing along
A
Refused to play the game and deciding I would hide
A7
What if I just lied?
F#m
And kept my muzzle on? They still might be alive if I
E A
Kept my muzzle on

(End on A) (NON-BAR Here)
A Dm
I grew up on the train
Tail curled underneath me
Sitting by the door to study, catch a wink
or contemplate and think regardless
I’m not heartless
Sliding doors invite a chill that wakes me
I am one who makes see

Those that never had the chance
Of course they won't know the dance
They'll never understand my instincts
Maybe gained through circumstance
I memorized the schedule it makes them all
Amaj7
Afraid

A Amaj7 Bm7 (F#m7, E)
I grew up on the train
I’m used to traveling to reach a better life
It doesn’t make me vain
Some people are content to complain about the smell but they can’t smell
Possibility, where the train might take them
Where does it take me

A Amaj7 (loop 2, add upper e string G)
I’m standing on the tracks out in the rain
The weather’s gotten colder my paw’s frozen to the tracks I see the train

(I see the train, I see the traint

(Basic: Am Dm C Em)
I break free at the final moment
Now the train goes twice as fast
My calculations need some work
I'll need to do the math again
What if I miscalculate
And end up like those hounds
What if I’m no longer tracking
But the train still loops around

Em F E
E F G G# F#m

F#m E A A7
There's a train a-coming
Rushing down my tracks
Its timing is inscrutable
It’s taken countless packs out
Underneath its wheels
The world so turns
We all will die
Before we've earned
The right to say
That we have learned
From our mistakes
A
The train will never break
A7
There’s no escape

It's coming for me
It's coming for me

The train comes for us all
I've got to pay my toll
If I can keep my muzzle on
I just might save my soul

The train comes for us all
How do I pay my toll
If I can keep my muzzle on
I just might save my soul

The train comes for us all
No change left for my toll
But if I can keep my muzzle on
I just might save my soul

(Voice falls behind the rhythm)
If I can keep my muzzle on I just might save my soul
If I can keep my muzzle on,
not shovel vindication into boilers like coal
I just might save my soul

If I can keep my muzzle on
Disappear into the dawn
Erase past guilt and move along
F#m Dmbar
Use the time that I have left
Abar
To keep my muzzle…
