I'm a Dog Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]I'm a dog,
and I can smell your smell [C]right through your [Am]clothes
[F]And I [G]espouse some views that you yourself
[C]just might [F]not [C]hold
Sometimes I am [Dm]given pause to think [C]when
I consider [F]what we could
call the good [Am]life

[Verse 2]
[F]
When it comes to the city versus
[C]the country [Am]life[F]
Well, I must say [G]that I far prefer
a [C]farmer[F]'s [C]wife
Breakfast with [Dm]the master
in [C]the morning
Feel the breeze and [F]brush
against a cow's [Am]leg - m!

[Verse 3]
[G]But it seems the[Dm] thinkers you
call [G]greatest are
[Dm]The sort who often [Bb]fall ill young,
or [F]pine away
How [Bb]can they help but [F]drag
the species [G]down?

[Verse 4]
[F]There's some debate about whether
instincts should [C]be held in [Am]check[F]
Well, I [G]suppose that I'm
a liberal [C]in this re[F]spect[C]
I can't say I [Dm]liked Robinson [C]Crusoe
But at least he didn't [F]tie
his dogs up at night
[Am][Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]And it seems the[Dm] thinkers
you call [G]greatest are
[Dm]The sort who often [Bb]fall ill young,
[F]or pine away
How [Bb]can they help but [F]drag the species

[Interlude 1]
down?
[G][C][Ab][Bb][Ab][Bb][Am][C]
[G][F]

[Verse 6]
How come [F]all your poets fall
into [C]desponden[Am]cies?
[F]And then write it dow[G]n for
us to read every [C]indignity?[F]
[C]Not such worthy specim[Dm]ens,
these [C]creatures
Hardly fit [F]for what you
could call the good life
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[G]And it seems the thi[Dm]nkers
you call [G]greatest are
[Dm]The sort who often [Bb]fall ill young,
or [F]pine away
How [Bb]can they help but [F]drag
the species [G]down?[Gsus4]
[C]How[Bb] can they help but dra[F]g

[Outro 1]
the species down?
