A Dogs Best Friend

[Intro ] 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". Outro A F#m D E A
