Lyrics and chords for "My Good Dog a'Mighty"

Good Dog A’Mighty      c BurlDunn
GCGD
           G          G7                          C                               A
I had a dog one time, I mean to tell you the best of her line
                 G    Em                          A       DD7
That sweet girl loved me to the end
             G                              G7          C                           A
When it got so she could hardly move her tail still wagged for me
                           G                         D          GCGD
You don’t have to tell me how to treat my best friend.
   G                      G7     C                   A
I got down on my knees, held her to my chest
                 G                 Em         A                        D           D7
She gave a long, relaxing sigh and surrendered to her death
           G                             G7             C           A
At that moment the love that flowed was pure and blessed
                           G                         D          G            CGD
You don’t have to tell me how to treat my best friend.

   C                  G          C              G
I howled at the moon, I growled at strangers
       Em                        A                               D          D7
The pal I’d lost was ever ready for laughter and dangers
             C           G           Em                     A
I’d give six more years for each one she gave me
                           G                         D          G            CGD
You don’t have to tell me how to treat my best friend.

Em                  C                 G                 Em
Every dog I’ve had has been all a dog can be
C                  A                       D                       D7
God help me be the man those dogs have seen in me.

            G             G7     C             A
I had a dream last night, seemed so real
                                 G             Em     A            DD7
We were walking on a ridge that was so high
           G            G7           C                         A
Lord I slipped, I fell, I was falling straight into hell
                    G                     D                           G    CGD
But my good dog dug in, she did not let me die.
G                     G7      C                            A
I landed on my knees, she jumped up on my chest
                 G           Em                  A        DD7
Licked my face and gave a great big grin
                             G                              G7
She said, “You can stumble, but you can’t fall,
           C                       A                               G                   D
Not as long as I give my all. You didn’t have to train me to be your best
G                CGD
friend.”

    C                  G          C              G
“I howled at the moon, I growled at strangers,
                    Em                    A                              D           D7
You were the pal I loved, ever ready for laughter and dangers
                 C           G           Em                      A
I gave you six more years for each one you gave me
                                  G                           D             C
And you didn’t have to train me to be your best friend.”

                                       G                  D          C
No, and you don’t have to tell me who is my best friend

No, no, it’s my good dog a’mighty
         G                D           G           CGDG

Don’t tell me she’s my best friend.

I put a free mp3 of this song in my public dropbox folder here. The song is one from "Texas Dance Songs"
