| Dm | Am | |
| Think of where the | black dog's been |
| Dm | C | Em | Am | |
| Think of where | he's | been | today |
| Have you seen the black dog's teeth, sharp like a knife? |
| Have you seen him tear apart a throat, to take a life? |
| Black dog don't believe in sin |

| Think of where the black dog's been |
| Think of where he's been today |

| How'd I ever get that black dog? Lord, he's shown me what he wants |
| Black dog don't believe in sin |
| Think of where the black dog's been |
| Think of where he's been today |
| Black dog don't believe in sin |
| Think of where the black dog's been |
| Think of where he's been |
