| C5 G5 | A5 E5 | F5 C#5 | D5 E5 |
[Verse 1]
C5 G5 A5 E5
Living next to the reserve
F5 C#5 D5 B5
Forty dogs, a wolf and karma
C5 G5 A5
Living next to the dogs
E5 F5 C#5 D5 E5
In a trailer is a toothless Choctaw
[Verse 2]
C5 G5 A5 E5
Living next to the Choctaw
F5 C#5 D5 B5
Lives a desert queen
C5 G5 A5
And she fires away
E5 F5 C#5 D5 E5
At every dog she sees
[Chorus]
F5 D5 A5 C5
Alright say goodbye
F5 D5 A5
To another dog in the dirt

As I place you in the earth

[Verse 3]
C5 G5 A5 E5
So, he kneels by the dogs' grave
F5 C#5 D5 B5
And commends them to the spirit ground
C5 G5 A5 E5
See you in another place
F5 C#5 D5 B5
Where there are no queens to be found
[Verse 4]
C5 G5 A5 E5
Busted up his bronco
F5 C#5 D5 B5
When he ran into himself
C5 G5 A5 E5 F5
She fires away at the four-legged fellas
C#5 D5 B5
At the land that can't help themselves
[Chorus]
F5 D5 A5 C5
Alright say goodbye
F5 D5 A5
To another dog in the dirt

You are not alone, my friend

As I place you in the earth
