A G

D G
And it's a doggone shame
D G
That he's a dog on a chain
D G
Yeah it's a doggone shame
D G
That he's a dog on a chain
A chain
He says he'll find a way back
He'll maybe buy a Cadillac
He wants some place to call his own
His fingernails are turning black
He fly like a nightstand
He run like and old clock
He bought himself a six string
If you listen you can hear him rock
And it's a doggone shame
That he's a dog on a chain
Yeah it't a doggone shame
That he's a dog on a chain
A chain
Some say that he'll make it through
While others claim he just a fool
And it's a doggone shame
That he's a dog on a chain
Yeah it's a doggone shame
That he's a dog on a chain
