Dedicated Hound  ( Simon Cowe )  from:  The News
---------------

1.)
I'm a writer, I'm a poet, out of spiter and I know it,
       F#7
I don't need to hear your guitar,
   A
I'll write my review from the bar, should go far.
      A			       E	     F#7

2.)
I'm a critic with position, paralytic you musician,
       F#7
I'm weary of punk and new wave,
     A
I invented them both anyway, sad to say.
    A			E	    F#7


Chorus:
Up town hanging around, street bar town to town
A	 E		 G	    D
I'm a ligger with a trigger.
       A
Up down round and round, feet don't touch the ground
A	 E		  G	     D
I'm ready, I'm a dedicated hound.
     A		 A   E7	    F#7


3.)
I'm a wino midnight worker, with a biro I'm a lurker, 
       F#7
I'll get you a deal on the chart,
      A
or stop you before you can start, that's my art.
    A		            E		    F#7


Chorus:
Up town hanging around, street bar town to town
A	 E		 G	    D
I'm a ligger with a trigger.
       A

I'm ready, I'm a dedicated hound.
     A		 A   E7	    F#7

4.)
I'm a prier and a trier, and a liar on the wire,
       F#7
just leave me your dressing room key, 
      A
you did say that booze was for me, better be.
     A			       E	  F#7

Up town hanging around, street bar town to town

A	 E		  G	     D
I'm ready, I'm a dedicated hound.
