[Intro 1]
[D]
[C][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Self- preservation is
the first law of nature
Abide by the rules of
the one who made you
The good Lord help those
[Bm]who help thems[D]elves
Look out for number one before
you help somebody else

[Verse 2]
'Cause it's [Bm]a poor [A]dog
Now, [Bm]it's a poor [D]dog[Bm][D]
It's [G]a poor [D]dog,
can't wag his own tail
He can't [Bm]wag his own t[D]ail
[Bm]Now, it's a mighty

[Verse 3]
[D]poor captain,
can't sell his own ship
And it's a poor, poor actor,
can't read his own script
It's a poor foundation,
can't hold up a house
Now, it's a mighty poor cat,

[Verse 4]
can't even catch a mouse
[D]
'Cause it's a poor dog
It's a poor [Bm]dog
It's a poor dog, can't wag his own tail
He can't wag his own tail
[A]Now, a chain is [Bm]no

[Verse 5]
stronger than its weakest link,
oh yeah
Now, a man ain't no stronger than he really,
really thinks
From little acorns, a big [D]tree grows
And it's a mighty,
mighty [G]poor rooster that can't even crow

[Verse 6]
'Cause it's a poor dog It's a poor dog
[A]
It's a poor [D]dog, can't wag his [D]own tail
He can't wag his own tail

[Verse 7]
Now, a poor dog, [D]hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a poor dog, it's a poor dog,
woo, a poor dog, hey
Always tend to somebody
else's business
And he's always minding
somebody's business
Listening and barking,
I can hear him howling
He's a poor dog, woo- hoo, yeah
