          G               D
Where the dogs of society howl
    B7                     Em7
You can't plant me in your penthouse
    A                D      A/C#
I'm going back to my plough
Bm                      F#
Back to the howling old owl in the woods

I bet they'll shoot down your plane
      C          C/G       A7        A7/E
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
   D
To set you on your feet again

Em7          Em/G    A         A/C#
Maybe you'll get a replacement

There's plenty like me to be found
C      C/G   A7          A7/E
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
D
Sniffing for tit-bits like you on the ...
