Fred Eaglesmith - Hes A Good Dog Chords & Tabs

G  C  D    G 
  
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  C  D    G 

G  C  D    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.
