This is my first attempt at tabbing only because I couldn't find the tabs on line for this song
so I attempted to figure them out myself
The rhythm is a sort of reggae funk
Listen to the song
This is the (Tab Line) after the chords

Em
As I was walking home the other night
C D
walking past the alley with the flash of the scarlet neon light
Em
A rolls royce pulled up to me a woman said
C D
sonny have you seem a silver poodle with a ribbon on his head
C Bm
I thought to myself man shes joking
C
In this part of town
Bm
A poodle could wind up at Burger King
C
But she looked serious and so I
G Bm
Said that I thought that I might have
Em C
Cuz I was delirious in dire need
G Bm
of any old bills that she might have
Em
She opened the door and said to come in
C D
offered me a drink and some funny looking powder from her stash
Em
I told her no thanks my mother told me
C D
Don't accept a thing from a stranger unless its check or cash
C Bm
She said who are you not to surrender
C Bm
A poor kid like you aught to be thankful just being alive
C G Bm
Then she laid down in the back seat and pulled me into her body heat
Em C
And I thought man this is my lucky day
G Bm Em
That was until I thought I heard her say..
Em
Funk Funky Funky poodle
C D
Funky poodle ----Yea
Em
After a while she looked up in a state of shock
C D
Whispered in my ear that she was sorry about the length of my stay
Em
I told her I wasn't going anywhere
C D
Not at least until you compensate for this unjust depravity
C Bm
What happened here its hard to remember
C
The next thing I knew
Bm
I lay face down in the street all alone
C G
and I hear the pitter pat of little feet
Bm Em
that make their way right over me
C G
The door closed, I looked, they sped away
Bm Em
She was sitting in the backseat with a little gray -
Em
Funky Funky Funky poodle
C D
Funky poodle ----Yea
Em
Funky Funky Funky poodle
(Song ends with these lines repeated)
