Dogs tab - pink floyd

PROPS GO TO: mas

Not sure where the dropping down a whole step came from but the song is in standard, dropped-D tuning.  I figured this out by ear, sound pretty good to me. 

p.s.  this is my first time writing tab, hope it turns out okay!!!

The chord progression as follows:

e----5----1----x----x----5--
B----5----3----3----3----5--
G----5----3----2----1----5--
D----7----3----2----1----7--
A----5----x----x----x----5--
D----x----x----x----x----x--

These are just the chords, strum along with the song to get the rhythm.

Occasionally add these little slides in there with these chords:

e---x-----x----
B---3/5---3/4--
G---2-----1----
D---2-----1----
A---x-----x----
D---x-----x----



Alright, now the fun part!!  For the sake of time, I'm going to just list segments of the song and what chord progressions go where.  It will be very unstructured but simple enough to play along with the song and figure it out!
Enjoy!!

The same chords as the intro are played through the 1st verse, 2nd verse, 1st guitar solo, and 3rd verse.  

Then the beautiful guitar harmony part (bridge?) just the chords:  before that play this=>   
              A-------------3--------
           lowD--5/7-o--5/7---5-3-0--


Chords (just play in this order:
--C--D--C--D--C--Bflat--F--Eflat--F--Eflat--D--

Then it's just the rhythm guitar playing this:
--D(same as intro D) play a few times then...

e--1--3----------0--0----------------
B--3--5----------3--2----------------
G--3--5-play 2x--2--2--------2---2---  right into D
D--3--5----------2--2-----2----------
A--x--x----------0--0--0-------------
D--x--x----------x--x----------3---2-

Play during 2nd solo:  D and C... through this in there...
--Bflat-C-(four times)-- back to D
--End with Bflat--C 2x --A as above

4th verse("And when you loose control..."):  D and C again...

then with "The bad blood..." play D  then when he sings "Stone.." play Bflat then to A...back to D ("And it's too late...")  
then with "...Good drown..."  play the Bflat to C 2x to A again.

Then play D during the middle keyboard/dog barking section.

Then it comes back with the intro chord progression which is played through the 5th and 6th verses, and through the 3rd solo.

Then back to the bridge (beautiful giutar harmony)

FINALLY....end with this chord progression as Roger sings the "Who was..." parts:
--D/E--F--E--D--C--D--C--repeat

then when he sings "...By the stone."  play Bflat--------then A----
then end with the  

"who was dragged down by the stone."

e-------------------------
B-------------------------
----------------2---2----- end with D
D-------------2-----------
A-----------0-------------
D-----------------3---2---

I hope this isn't completely confusing.  You'll be able to figure it out, it's relatively simple, yet amazingly beautiful!!!!  Have fun!!

Animals - Dogs (Part 1)
Part 2 of Pink Floyd's Album Animals set to video of Hallmark Entertainment's Animal Farm. NOTE: All video belongs to Hallmark Entertainment and music to members of Pink Floyd: Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason. Lyrics: You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need. You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed. And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight, You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking. And after a while, you can work on points for style. Like the club tie, and the firm handshake, A certain look in the eye and an easy smile. You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in. You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder. You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older. And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, Hide your head in the sand, Just another sad old man, All alone and dying of cancer. And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown. And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone. And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around. So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone, Dragged down by the stone. I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused. Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used. Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise. If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze? Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend. And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner And everything's done under the sun, And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer. Who was born in a house full of pain. Who was trained not to spit in the fan. Who was told what to do by the man. Who was broken by trained personnel. Who was fitted with collar and chain. Who was given a pat on the back. Who was breaking away from the pack. Who was only a stranger at home. Who was ground down in the end. Who was found dead on the phone. Who was dragged down by the stone.

Pink Floyd-Dogs Part 1
Copyright Wikipedia. Roger Waters - Bass guitar, vocals David Gilmour - Vocals, acoustic and Fender Telecaster electric guitars Richard Wright - Fender-Rhodes piano, Hammond organ, Mini-Moog Synthesizers, ARP String Synthesizer, backing vocals Nick Mason - drums, percussion. Dogs are used to represent the megalomaniacal businessmen who destroy themselves and those around them by obsessing over their egos and their careers. A number of comparisons are made and metaphors used to show how close these businessmen are with dogs, for example "Got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed" the meat representing deals and opportunities for the businessmen. It is a long, increasingly haunting song at over seventeen minutes. During their tour in 1974 Pink Floyd played three new songs in the first half of the shows, followed by the whole of the The Dark Side of the Moon album. Those three new songs were "You Gotta Be Crazy" (which would later become "Dogs"), "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Raving And Drooling" (which would later become "Sheep"). During 1974 performances of "You Gotta Be Crazy", David Gilmour would sing the song in a faster speed than the versions on the 1975 US tour and the Animals album. "You Gotta Be Crazy" was about the problems one had to deal with in life. The lyrics were modified by the time the song was played live in 1975 and then the lyrics changed again when recording Animals. Both "You Gotta Be Crazy" and "Raving And Drooling" were originally planned to be on the album following the tour Wish You Were Here, but the plans were changed (which later became a point of dispute between Gilmour and Waters, as an early sign of their later animosity) and they both ended up in different forms on Animals. Lyrics:- You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need. You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed. And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight, You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking. And after a while, you can work on points for style. Like the club tie, and the firm handshake, A certain look in the eye and an easy smile. You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in. You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder. You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older. And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, Hide your head in the sand, Just another sad old man, All alone and dying of cancer. And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown. And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone. And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around. So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone, Dragged down by the stone.
