C Am
The most important shot you’ll ever take is the one you never want
F C G
The reaper came a week too late for my only son
F C Am
My boy we were runnin' free ‘til February come
Dsus2 Am
Now you can’t walk or breath and you're begging for the gun
F C Am
Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Dsus2 Am
Even when you're killing a love you can’t replace
F C Am
Oh Copper dog of all that’s sacred we erase
Dsus2 C
You will be the part of me that I forever chase
C Am F C G
C Am
That old dog was the stoic princе of all he smelled or seen
F C G
How I grinnеd from ear to ear saying he belonged to me
F C Am
Now how the hand of time grips him like a thief
Dsus2 Am
All my pride took a ride into eternity
F C Am
Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Dsus2 Am
Even when you're killing a love you can’t replace
F C Am
Oh Copper dog of all that’s sacred we erase
Dsusu2 C
You will be the part of me that I forever chase

Oh how the mothers speak of strangers taking burdens that are hard
F
I have no choice you see for I am he and he is me and I will follow him
C
Into the dark

With all my heart a mercy bark

Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Dsus2 Am
Even when you're killing a love you can’t replace
F C Am
Oh Copper dog of all that’s sacred we erase

You will be the part of me that I forever chase
The most important shot you'll ever take is the one you never want
The reaper came a week too late for my only son
My boy, we were running free 'til February come
Now you can't walk or breathe, and you're begging for the gun
Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Even when you're killing a love, you can't replace
Oh, copper dog of all that's sacred, we erase
You will be the part of me that I forever chase
That old dog was the Stoic prince of all he smelled or seen
How I grinned from ear to ear, saying, "He belonged to me"
Now how the hand of time grips him like a thief
All my pride took a ride into eternity
Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Even when you're killing a love, you can't replace
Oh, copper dog of all that's sacred, we erase
You will be the part of me that I forever chase
And oh, how the mothers speak
Of strangers taking burdens that are hard
But I have no choice, you see
For I am he and he is me
And I will follow him into the dark
With all my heart
A mercy bark
Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Even when you're killing a love, you can't replace
Oh, copper dog of all that's sacred, we erase
You will be the part of me that I forever chase
