I'm a Dog

F         C                                 G5           Am
I'm a dog, and I can smell your smell right through your clothes
F             G                                 C         F
And I espouse some views that you yourself just might not hold
C              G                         C
Sometimes I am given pause to think when
                   F                   Am
I consider what we could call the good life

F             C                      G5      Am

Breakfast with the master in the morning
                    F                           Am
Feel the breeze and brush against a cow's leg - mmm!


G                Dm                G
But it seems the thinkers you call greatest are
    Dm             Bb              F
The sort who often fall ill young, or pine away
Continues after the ad
        Bb            F                G
How can they help but drag the species down?


F                   G                                 C       Am
There's some debate about whether instincts should be held in check
F               G                     C    F
Well, I suppose that I'm a liberal in this respect
C             Dm                    C
I can't say I liked Robinson Crusoe
                               F               Am
But at least he didn't tie his dogs up at night


G                Dm                G
And it seems the thinkers you call greatest are
    Dm             Bb              F
The sort who often fall ill young, or pine away
        Bb            F                G

How come all your poets fall into despondencies?
F                      G                      C    F
And then write it down for us to read every indignity?
C               Dm                         C
Not such worthy specimens, these creatures
               F                            Am
Hardly fit for what you could call the good life
