Nellie Mc Kay - "The Dog Song"
By oddos aka zappy the Koala
A#m G# F#
I'm just a walkin' my dog
F Bbm
Singin' my song
C F
Strollin' along
A#m G# F#
Yeah it's just me and my dog
F Bbm
Catchin' some sun
C F
We can't go wrong
A#m G# A#m
My life was lonely and blue
A#m A G# G F#m
Yeah I was sad as a sailor
F#m E F#m
I was an angry 'un too
F#m F Em D#m Dm
Then there was...
Em D C B
...You appeared, when I was entangled
Em D C B
With youth, and fear, and nerves Jingle jangle
Em D C B
Vermouth and beer Were gettin' me mangled up
Em D#m Em
But then I looked in your eyes
Em Fm F#m Em F#m
And I was no more a failure
Em D Em
You looked so wacky and wise
Bb B C Bb C
And I said, lord I'm
A#m G# F#
Happy 'cause I'm just a walkin' my dog
F Bbm C F
Singin' my song Strollin' along
A#m G# F# F Bbm
It's just me and my dog Catchin' some sun
C F
We can't go wrong
A#m G# F# F
'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubt
A#m G# F# F
And I don't care what the politicians spout
A#m G# F# F
If you wanna companion Well just go right to the pound
F# F
And find yourself a hound
F# F
And make that doggie proud
F F# Bbm
'cause that's what it's all about
A#m G# A#m
My life was tragic and sad
A#m A G# F# G#
Yeah I was the archetypal loser
F#m Em F#m
I was a pageant gone bad
F#m Fm Em Dm Em
Then there was...
Em D C B
You on time And wagging your tail
Em D C B
In the cutest mime And you was in jail
Em D C B
I said woof, be mine And you gave a wail
Em D Em
And then I was no longer alone
Em Fm F#m Em F#m
And I was no more a boozer
F#m Em F#m
We'll make the happiest home
Em Fm Fm# Em F#m
And I said lord I'm...
A#m G# F#
Happy 'cause I'm just a walkin' my dog
F Bbm C F
Singin' my song Strollin' along
A#m G# F#
It's just me and my dog
F Bbm C F
Catchin' some sun We can't go wrong
A#m G# F# F
'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubt
A#m G# F# F
And I don't care what the politicians spout
A#m G# F# F
If you wanna companion Well just go right to the pound
F# F
And find yourself a hound
F# F
And make that doggie proud
F F# Bbm
'cause that's what it's all about
