Ten Degrees Of Strange
Johnny Flynn
Double drop D (DADGBD) but can be played as normal with normal chords and sounds fine In double drop D: D = 000230 G = 555400 Em = 222000 E = 222100 Riff = 3-2-0 on the A string - rhythm = t a i l sung in 3 syllables with the 3-2-0 [Intro] D Riff x4 [Verse] D Riff There’s a black dog following hard on my trail D Riff D Riff Set firm on hollowing my heart till it fails Gone nine days sleepless seeking to keep this dog off my tail D Riff D Riff Lugged this old bag of bones through seven time zones Oh I’m ten degrees of strange But I’m trying to change Tryin’ to shake off my shadow Still hoping to get out of the black dog’s range [Chorus] (palm muted) So I run ’cause I must Leave that dog in the dust Gonna run like a river Right down to the sea Gonna run like the sap Through the heart of a tree I run ’cause I must Leave that dog in the dust [Verse] D Riff D Riff You were the pebble and I was the ripple D Riff D Riff You were the puzzle and I was the riddle Em D Riff Together together we got lost in the middle [Bridge] We took signs for wonders. In summer the meteors In winter the thunder the trees split asunder Wherever we wandereeeed Now I’m stormbound on high ground A jack of the hedge A wreck on the beach Still trying to stay out of that black dog’s reach Some days I long for the grace of an end Dam up the river dry out its bed Bury me there body and head Far from the black dog’s song [Chorus] (palm muted) But I run ’cause I must Leave that dog in the dust Gonna run like a river Right down to the sea Gonna run like the sap Through the heart of a tree I run ’cause I must Leave that dog in the dust But I run ’cause I must Leave that dog in the dust Gonna run like a river Right down to the sea Gonna run like the sap Through the heart of a tree I run ’cause I must Leave that dog in the dust
