A F#m D E A
[Verso 1]
A F#m
I met him on the day that he turned twelve years old
D A E
he was as wet behind the ears as I was on the nose.
A F#m
And he gave me the name that's carved here on my tag,
D E A A A/G#
and every ball he would've lost, I'd find and bring it back.
[Refrão]
F#m D
And we played in the river, we ran through the woods
A E
thick as thieves, you'd best believe, we'd be up to no good.
F#m D
When he got home from school I'd be waiting by the door
A E
just so mom could fuss at us for trackin' mud on her clean floors.
[Verso 2]
A F#m
Forty-two years later, but he swears it was six
D A E
in the park I met a girl and she threw me a stick.
A F#m
Now you could call it fate, but I'm the reason why
A E A A A/G#
she said yes to that first date and came back a second time.
[Refrão]
F#m D
And they walked down the aisle and I brought them the rings
A E
tied around a white boy tie I don't know, some kind of fancy collar thing.
F#m D
before too long we got a new home with lots of runnin' room,
A E
they had me paint my paw on the bedroom wall the day they turned it blue.
[Verso 3]
A F#m
I'll admit that I was jealous the day they brought him home
D A E
cause he stole the attention that I'd had all along.
A F#m
And I tried not to like him, but he ain't all that bad
D E A A A/G#
and I can't help but love a familiar face like that.
[Refrão]
F#m D
Last thing I remember was two big bright lights
A E
and I came to on a table with my family by my side.
F#m D
They pet my head as the doctor said, "We've done all that we can do",
A E
and through the teary eyes I heard them cry, "There'll never be a better dog than you".
