Best Friend (The Dog Song)
By: Tom Seley
(I tuned the guitar a half-step down and played this song in the key of B on the album,
I play it in C live)
C
You can scratch your own back
G
You don’t have fleas
F
You stand up in my defense
G
When they make fun of me
C
You brush your own teeth
G
You don’t bark a lot
F
You don’t have a crazy name
G
Like Bingo, Fido or Spot
Am
Dogs are good and dogs are nice
G
But they never spoke up and gave me good advice
Am
You can take ‘em for walks and there’s tricks they can do
G
But I would rather hang out with you
C G F G
They say that a dog is a man’s best friend
F G C
But my best friend is you
When you fall
It’s always nice to have a friend
To be there when you hit the ground
To pick you back up again
Like when my car broke down
I knew all I had to do was call your phone
If you were a dog,
I would to had to hoof it on home alone
Chorus
Solo Verse
Chorus
You can roll over once
But you don’t play dead
You have all kinds of brains and thoughts
Rollin around in your head
(Am7)
We have the funniest conversations
Laughin’ all day long
I know that it’s just understood
But it sounds better in a song
G7
And if you like it you can sing along
Double Chorus
