VERSE 1
   C     G
Daisy, you 
          C                 G
Shouldn't do the things you do 
           Am      G            C      G
But you're just so incapable of changing 
    C      G
You lie so well
        C          G 
I could never even tell 
          Am            G        C        G
What were facts in your artful rearranging 

CHORUS

           C        G    D
But I came back for more 
        C             G            D
And you laughed in my face and you rubbed it in 
            C      G  D
Cause I'm a Labrador 
      C
And I run
         G 
When the gun 
          D
Drops the dove again 


VERSE 2 (FOLLOW VERSE 1)
When we first met 
I was glad to be your pet 
Like a Lab I once had that we call Maisie
But fetching sticks 
Was the best I had for tricks 
You got bored 
You got mad then you got crazy 

CHORUS
But I came back for more 
And you laughed in my face and you rubbed it in 
Cause I'm a Labrador 
And I run 
When the gun 
Drops the dove again 

C      G      D    
Daisy, daisy, give me your answer 
C      G      D
Daisy, daisy, do,
C                 G          D 
Remember good old Maisie how she waited at the 
            C  G D 
Stairs for you 

VERSE 3 (FOLLOW VERSE 1)
Daisy, dear 
I could almost she'd a tear 
But let's shine in the time we have remaining 
You're a tough old gal 
But a dog is just a pal 
And believe me, my dear, 
I'm not complaining 

CHORUS
             C        G        D
Cause I came back for more 
        C         G 
Cause I knew even you
        D 
Did the best you could 
          C       G      D
And I'm a Labrador 
         C             G   
And with me, you could see
       D     
It was understood 
              C        G    D 
That I'd come back for more 
            C      G    D
Cause I'm a Labrador 
          C       G     D 
The loyal Labrador
