G C G/B It was a military holiday. Kids were everywhere. Am D/F# I hid behind the steering wheel and tried to disappear Dm G C C7 Tried to speak but couldn't. Dad was whistling and drinking beer. F G C G/B And, I prayed "Dear God, if you save this dog Am Dm E Am I will never get high. I will never jack off. F G C G/B I will do all the things that I should but have not F C G I'll be a good boy from now on." G C G/B We turned around the corner soon and saw the neighbor's yard Am D/F# Dad lit up a cigarette. Rolled his window down. Dm G C C7 And grinning like an idiot, he stuck his head and body out. F G C G/B And, I prayed "Dear God, if you save this dog Am Dm E Am I will never get high. I will never jack off. F G C G/B I will be all the things that I should but have not F E7sus4 Am Am/G I'll be a good boy from now on. F C G I'll be a good boy from now on." E7 E7sus4 Am G Well, he popped in a shell and took aim with the gun Am G E/G# Am Then, a flash and a bang and the dog, it was gone. F C G F C G Jumped up and it ran away. Dad had shot right through his chain E7 E7sus4 F G G C G/B Well, dad said, "Take me to the Dairy Freeze, I want to have a shake." Am D/F# We sipped them on the benches there, stared out on the lake. Dm G C C7 And dad has never said another word about that day. F G C G/B And I hope you're not disappointed God Am Dm E Am 'Cause I still get high. I still jack off. F G C G/B And you knew I was lying but you still saved that dog F B7 Am Am/G You're such a good God F C G You're such a good, good God F B7 Am Am/G You're such a good, goddamned backwards dog F I'll be a good boy from now on
