Capo: 1st fret Slow Rock/Blues
Listen to the song for the feel and strum pattern
The strum pattern is very similar to "high cost of living"
A
You don't have to keep me on no chain
E
I come running when I hear you call my name
I must not be too hard to train
A
Took you no time at all
A
A
You don't really like none of my friends
E
You never really know just where I've been
When I slip up on your porch at 4AM
A
Like an old stray dog
Chorus:
E
You scratch me and you pet me
D
And you fight me
A
And even let me win
A
Now and then
E
You scold me you tease me
D
Then you hold me
A
And tell me I'm your friend
E
A
Making love to you babe
D
Ain't so hard
A
You treat me like a
E A
Dog in the yard
A
Sometimes you kick at me when I'm down
E
It drives you crazy when I just lay around
No matter what you do I think I've found
A
The perfect home
Chorus once then:
A A
Aww You treat me like a
E A
Dog in the yard
