[Intro]
C E7 Am A7 Dm Dm G7 C E7 Am A7 Dm G7 C G (x2)
[Verse 1]
C E7 Am A7
You've got to set me up a swing beneath that cinnamon tree,
Dm G7 Gaug
Give me half a breeze just to push the scent,
C E7
Gotta fetch me up a telescope,
Am A7
Fifteen yards of sturdy rope,
Dm G7 C
And I'll tell you where that puppy dog has went,
[Verse 2]
C E7 Am A7
Now I bet she's head the railroad, and she's hopping cars,
Dm G7
Bet she's aboard a great ship and she's lost at sea,
C E7 Am A7
She'll come bounding back again, as soon as she smells that cinnamon,
Dm G7 C
And I'll bury her sweet bones beneath that tree,
[Chorus]
C E7 Am
She was my three legged dog,
C E7 Am
She was a three legged dog,
C E7 Am
She was a three legged dog,
Dm G7 C
And I bury her bones, out beneath that old cinnamon tree,
C7 D G G7 C G7
Yeah, I bury her bones, out beneath that old cinnamon tree,
[Interlude]
C E7 Am A7 Dm Dm G7 Gaug C E7 Am A7 Dm G7 C G7 (x2)
[Verse 3]
C E7 Am A7
Her mama seems to think she's gone for some kind of good,
Dm G7 Gaug
Papa says she's six feet underground,
C E7 Am A7
And I know she's alright, when I hear her howling in the moonlight,
Dm G7 C
And its a wild and lovely sound
[Verse 4]
C E7 Am A7
Its not the body of the beast that holds her spirit,
Dm G7
Its her spirit itself which I adore,
C E7 Am A7
And its her love, and its her name and the confines of her frame,
Dm G7 C
That makes me love her, love her so much more
[Chorus]
C E7 Am
She was my three legged dog,
C E7 Am
She was a three legged dog,
C E7 Am
She was a three legged dog,
Dm G7 C
And I bury her bones, out beneath that old cinnamon tree,
C7 D G G7 C
Yeah, I bury her bones, out beneath that old cinnamon tree,
