[Verse 1]
[D]I w[A]as the dr[D]iver for the drive-by
of of [A]the neighbor's dog
[Bm]Dad had always hated h[Abm]im
so he said [E]"Come on son,
[Em]"Get into the Vega [E]now and
[A]I'll go get [D]my shotgun"[A]
It was [D]a military holiday and
kids were [A]everywhere
[Bm]I hid behind the steering wheel
[E]and tried to disappear
[Em]I tried to speak but couldn't,
Dad was [A]whistling and drinking [D]beer
[G]And I prayed "Dear God,
if [A]You save this dog
[D]"I will never [Bm]get high[Em],
I [F#]will never jack off
[Bm]"I will be a[G]ll the things
that [A]I should but have not
[D]"I'll be a g[G]ood boy from
now [D]on"[A]
[D]We turned around the corner soon
and saw [A]the neighbor's yard
[Bm]Dad lit up a cigarette a[E]nd
rolled his window down
And [Em]grinning like an idiot [A]he stuck his [D]head [G]and body
[A][D][Bm][Em][F#][Bm][G]
[A]out[D][G][A][Bm]
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
[A]Well he pop[F#]ped in a shell and took
[G]aim with the [D]gun
Then a [Bm]flash an [A]a bang and
the dog [F#]it was g[Bm]one
[A]Jumped [G]up and he ran [D]away
[A]Dad had[G] shot right through
[D]his chain[A][F#][G][A]
Dad said [D]"Take me to the Dairy Freeze,
I want to have a shake"
[Bm]We sipped them on the benches
[E]there and stared out on the lake
And [Em]Dad has never [D]said another
[A]word about that [D]day
And I [G]hope you're not [A]disappointed, God
[D]'Cause I still get[Bm] high
[Em]and [F#]I still jack o[Bm]ff
And [G]you knew I was lying but
you still [A]saved that dog
[D]You're such a g[G]ood God
[Bm]Such a [G]good,
[D]God[A] da[G]mn backwards[A] dog[D]
And [A]I'll be a [G]good boy from now [D]on
