Man and Dog (Lowdon Wainwright III)
(he plays it in D – on capo 2 with C shape)
whole song is C C7 F C G7 C, with various pauses as you like when you see "..."
(Don't pause on instrumentals)
C C7
When a man has a dog in the city... then the man needs to walk in the park
F C
Take a little stroll by the riverside, smoke a cigarette there in the dark
G7 C
Living in the city, man living with a dog
C C7
And a man has to carry him a plastic bag on his person at all times
F C
When a dog dumps on a sidewalk, walkin away is a crime
G7 C
Living in the city, man walkin’ with a dog
C C7
A man likes livin’ in the city ... but a man has to find some work
F C
Walkin’ with a dog is a kind of a job, make you feel like a fool and a jerk
G7 C
Living in the city, workin’ like a dog (work out)
Instrumental (C C7 F C G7 C)
C C7
Dog likes living in the city..., in the city there’s a lot of other mutts
F C
Checkin’ in front, checkin’ in back, no ifs, no ands, just butts
G7 C
Living in the city, dog checkin’ out a dog
C C7
(Spoken)It’s a pretty good way to meet a woman, if a woman is walking a dog
F C
Just say, what’s her name, how old is she, Its easy like rolling off a log,
G7 C
Checkin’ out a woman, man acting like a dog
C C7
When a man has a fight with a woman, then the man needs to go for a walk
F C
Walking with a dog is easy, he listens he don’t talk
G7 C
Talkin’ to the dog (talk to me…)
Instrumental (C C7 F C G7 C)
C C7
Walking with dog in the winter in the wind in the rain and the snow is a drag
F C
Its hard as hell to keep a cigarette lit and get the shit in the plastic bag
G7 C
Living in the city, man walking with a dog
C C7
When a man has a dog in the city ... (very long pause with harmonies) the man needs to walk in the park
F C
Take a little stroll by the riverside, smoke a cigarette there in the dark
G7 C
Living in the city, man living with a dog
