Song Title : Just a Dog
Artist Name : Mo Pitney
Key: D  
Tuning: DADGBE
DTen years Aago I was Gon my way home, saw her Dwalking on the 
Aside of the Ghighway alone.
It was rDaining like Ahell and I kept Gtelling myself
"not my Dproblem, keep on Adriving, just like Geverybody else." 
Why should BmI be the one pulling Aover on the shoulder at 
Gnight? 
It's just a Ddog, Aright?G  
From the Dcab of my Atruck, to the Gfoot of my bed, to a Dnew pair of Aboots that she Gchewed in shreds.
Digging Dholes in the Ayard, chasing Gcars down the street
till one Dgot her and when AI found her, I Gthought it hit me.
Took Bmhalf of my savings to Asave her, and I didn't think Gtwice.
It's just a Ddog, Aright?G  
GJust an old mutt Ariding shotgun, Dgetting my seats all Bmmuddy.A  
GJust the one who AI come home to, Emjust my best fishin' buddy.A  
We were Dwalking that Aspring in the Gsand on the beach.
You know Dshe was the Areason, Amy Gwalked up to me.
She lost Dher place on the Acouch, but she Gkept her cool. 
She was Dcrazy about AAmy and she Gknew I was too. 
And the Bmnight that girl left me, she Akept me from losing my Gmind. 
But it's just a Ddog, Aright? G  
BmIt's 83° today and Aman I can hardly wait to Gget this truck down to the lake, DI bet the bass' are hittin'. 
BmBoats in my rear view mirror, Agot my... tackle box and all my gear,
Gthe wind is right, the sky is clear, there's Emonly one thing missiAn'. 
GJust an old mutt Ariding shotgun, Dgetting my seats all Bmmuddy.A  
GIt just hit me Ashe's not with me Emlike she was this past ASunday. 
Why am I Bmpulling over on the Ashoulder with tears in Gmy eyes? 
It's just a Ddog, Aright? G  
She was just a Ddog, Aright?G
