G
He's a good dog.
C
I've had him for years.
D
He used to get up when I'd walk by.
G
Now he just lifts up his ears,
And he thumps his tail on the floor
C
When I talk to him.
D
When I talk too long, he just ignores me,
G
And goes to sleep again.
G
He's a good dog.
C
I got him as a pup.
D
I tried to teach him all the tricks,
G
Then I just gave up
'Cause he never acted very bright,
C
Though his eyes they've got this glow,
D
And I think he actually knows some things
G
That actually I don't.
D
And he never barks at strangers,
C
And he never barks at cars,
D
And he howls at the coyotes
C D
While they're howling at the stars,
G
And he scratches at the back door
C
Till someone lets him in,
D
Then he scratches at the other side
G
'Cause he wants back out again.

G
He's a good dog,
C
But one of these days
D
I'm gonna have to drive him into town,
G
And have him put away
'Cause he don't hear that good no more
C
And he can't hardly walk,
D
But until then I look at him
And I say to him
G
He's a good dog.

He's a good dog.
