[Intro]
A A D D E E A E A
 
[Verse 1]
A
The mans in the moon, and the cats in the cradle,
D
And I'm in the doghouse
E
It never would have happened if my best friend
A
Wasn't such a loudmouth
A D
She's heard things that she don't like about my nights out
E
Now she's on me like an old cheap suit,
A
I'm in the doghouse.
 
[Chorus]
D
Well, the dogs eating' good and he don't care
A
If I'm chewing' bones in the cold night air
B
The whole thing seems just a little unfair
E7 F#m Gm E
There he sits in my favorite chair
 
[Verse 2]
A
Whoever said they was man's best friend,
D
Had it all wrong
E
If she finds out you've been running with the pack
A E
You'll be dog gone
A
She says she's got a bone to pick
D
Should I sit up and beg, should I fetch a stick
E
This old' dog better learn a new trick
A
In the doghouse
 
[Chorus]
D
Well, the dogs eating' good and he don't care
A
If I'm chewing' bones in the cold night air
B
The whole thing seems just a little unfair
E7 F#m Gm E
There he sits in my favorite chair

A
I can tell matters are getting' real bad,
D
I bit the mailman
E
I been chasing' cars up and down the street
A E
Instead of women
A
The dog and my wife are getting' mighty thick
D
Looking' through the window just makes me sick
E
This old' dog better learn a new trick
A
I'm in the doghouse.
 
[Chorus]

Well, the dogs eating' good and he don't care
