The Milk Carton Kids

Memoires Of An Owned Dog

by The Milk Carton Kids
The Milk Carton Kids

Biography:

The Milk Carton Kids is an American indie folk duo from Eagle Rock, California, United States, consisting of singers and guitarists Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan, who formed the group in early 2011.

A performance by The Milk Carton Kids is a quiet and intricate affair. The duo have enjoyed intently listening audiences across the country and abroad in their respective solo careers, but an even greater sense of urgency and demand of attention is palpable now that they've come together as The Milk Carton Kids.

I really love this song! The lyrics are just incredible.
You're going to be changing the bassnotes throughout the whole song. I'll try to get the
bassnotes right, they are pretty important for the sound of the song.

C - C/G - C - C/G
C - C/G - C - C/G

C C/G
the food was as I like it...
G G/D
Cold, wet
F F/C C C/G
And in that wonderful tin can shape
Am Am/E
I had it marked in a paw print
F F/C
on the dog door
C C C/B C/A G
the day that I finally planned my escape

C C/G
the milkman, he tried
G G/D
you can bet I wanted to survive
F F/C C C/G
but the truck it just came far too fast
Am Am/E
So I write on these scraps
F F/C
my remembrances past
C C/G G G/D
so you don't blame yourself that I've died

F F/C
they put horses out to pasture
C C/G
and the birds come home to roost
F F/C
ain't nothin' for a puppy
C C/G
but the backyard on the loose
F F/C
now I know my job was to
C Am
lie idly beside
F G C C/G
the way the sun retreats for the moon

C C/G
i had dreams of walking
G G/D
the world on my own
F F/C
four on the floor
C C/G
every night all alone
Am Am/E
i was ready to work
F F/C
for the scruff on my neck
C C/G
yearning to find something
G G/D
of my own to protect

C C/G
my bark, then, was surely
G G/D
bigger than my bite
F F/C
chewing the cud could've been
C C/G
my biggest dog fight
Am Am/E
and you know how they say
F F/C
we only hear certain things that you say
C C/G
well, it never mattered much to me
G G/D
but for the will of the way

F F/C
they put horses out to pasture
C C/G
and the birds come home to roost
F F/C
ain't nothin' for a puppy
C C/G
but the backyard on the loose
F F/C
now I know my job was to
C Am
lie idly beside
F G C C/G
the way the sun retreats for the moon

Bb F
now I loosen this collar
C C/G
for a dog bone bow tie
Bb F
to go up and meet
C C/G
the big dog in the sky
Bb F
i'll tell him when I get there
C E7
I was spoiled in your place
F F/C
with the hopes that my spirit
G
is honored by your grace

C C/G
so after you read this
G G/D
memoir one day
F F/C
or after you hear
C C/G
my lonesome song play
Am Am/E
don't you trouble your mind
F F/C
this old hound's doin' fine
C C/G
you know, goodbyes are just words
G G/D
like a clock is to time

C C/G
so sorry I'm not with you
G G/D
so sorry I can't be
F F/C
please know I was
C C/G
the best friend this old mutt could be
Am Am/E
if you remember that spot
F F/C
where my favorite tree grows
C C/G G
I hung up my leash on a branch
C
now it's yours
