HE’S A GOOD DOG Fred Eaglesmith

(Finger Picking with Capo on 5th Fret)

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.
