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
