         Em            Em7 Em
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain

A hint of danger in his eye

Alarm bells raging round his brain

And the chimney's broken in the sky

There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams

Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke

Come on honey it's re-al  mo--ney

And scratch out words like right and wrong
