             C     G     D      C 


C                   G 
 God is a wild old dog 
Em                        C 
 Someone left out on the highway 
                     G 
 I seen him running by me 
             D              G 
 He don't belong to no one now 


C                      G 
 We dropped him out on 93 
D                             C 
 Mange was setting in on his hips and on his knees 
                               G 
 Between the highways running north and south 
D                        C 
 We pulled on over and we put him out 

                              G 
 Willie said he was old and going blind 
D                     C 
 Momma told me how she didn't mind 
                              G 
 When Willie kicked him with his shoe 
           D                 C 
 He just climbed on in just like he knew 


C                   G 
 God is a wild old dog 
Em                        C 
 Someone left out on the highway 
                     G 
 I seen him running by me 
             D              G 
 He don't belong to no one now 


C                    Em 
 It's lonely on the highway 
               G                D 
 Sometimes a heart can turn to dust 
                       C 
 Get whittled down to nothing 
                  Em 
 Broken down and crushed 
              C 
 In with the bones of 
           D 
 Wild old dogs 
           C          
 Wild old dogs 


 C      G     Em      C         

 C      G     D       C 


                       G 
 We dropped him out on 93 
D                                  C 
 Tall grass was waving there just like the sea 
                               G 
 He tore off running like we'd set him free 
       D                     C 
 Just disappeared right in front of me 


C                   G 
 God is a wild old dog 
Em                        C 
 Someone left out on the highway 
                     G 
 I seen him running by me 
             D              C 
 He don't belong to no one now 
             D              G  
 He don't belong to no one now 

  
 G    C    G    C    G     C    G 


 End on G
