Chords for John Cale - Fear Is A Man´s Best Friend

[G] _ [D] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [E] So, [F] this was [G#] the title song for an album, the first album I [A#] did for Island [A] in 1971 [G#] after
I left LA.
[A] _ [D] And there's a [Dm] phrase in this that kind of pulls the [A] song together.
[Bm] _ [D#] There's a movie [C#] called Donnie [D#] Brasco and Al Pacino in that has this phrase that just keeps
[B] going through the whole movie, it's forget about it.
And [G#] it's like, as soon as he says [C#] that, you just assume that everything [D#] is true.
So, [Bm] this is like, [D] you don't have to think about it.
You always assume [A#] that whatever he says after [B] that is absolutely true.
So, life and death are things that you do when you're bored.
You just [Bm] assume that's true.
[E] I hope you do. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Standing, waiting for a man to show.
_ Wide-eyed, one eye fixed on the door.
This [A]
waiting's killing me.
_ [E] It's wearing me down. _ _ _ _ _

My [E] feet are burning.
_ Holes in the ground.

_ Once on the hold, made close forevermore.
[A] I'm a sleeping dog. _
_ _ [E] But you can't tell. _ _
_ _ When I'm on the _ _ [A]
prowl.
You [E] feel like hell. _ _
_ _ You know it makes sense.
Don't even think about it.
Life and death are [F#m] just things that you do [B] when you're bored.
