He's a Good Dog

G
He's a good dog.
         C
I've had him for years.
        D
He used to get up when I'd walk by.
Now he just lifts up his ears,
    G


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,
Continues after the ad
                            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        
While they're howling at the stars,
           D

                 G
And he scratches at the back door
          C
Till someone lets him in,
                  D
Then he scratches at the other side
'Cause he wants back out again.
        G

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.
