Jamey Johnson - Dog In The Yard

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
