He looks over as he's going by and he's outside our house and says,
Talking dog for sale.
[N] He's done the huge journey, comes out, walks up to the house, he [Eb] says,
You got a sign here that says, Talking dog for sale.
Yeah, we got a talking dog for sale.
He's out [Gb] back, he's out back there, you talk to him over the fence, he talks to you.
The guy goes back, he [G] sees the dog sitting in the backyard there, he [D] puts up the fence,
the dog's scratching his [Gb] ear and he says,
You the talking [E] dog?
And the dog looks up and says, Yep.
[Eb] He [D] says, [Eb] Could you tell me anything?
Yep.
[G] He said, What did you tell me?
The [Bb] dog said, Well, when I was a little puppy, I started [Eb] realizing I could understand English
and [Bm] I started fooling around and I kept talking [Gb] and I got pretty much in demand from people
and they put me on to the CIA who [D] hired me as a spy dog and [Eb] then I went and I worked for them
and I would sit in a room with [Gm] the bad guys and the good guys [Ebm] and the dog would talk
and then the good guys [Dm] would leave, the bad guys [Bb] would tell all the wrong things,
and the good guys came [Gb] back, I'd just tell them all [E] the stuff they said.
And [Bb] we left them.
And I [Eb] got lots of medals and stuff and then I came home here because I was tired,
I was traveling on the road and they [E] used me, the local DEA started using me for bus [Bb] dogs
and all that stuff and [B] I got tired of that and I got married and had some puppies and [D] here I am.
The [Ab] guy went back to the front and he says, What do you want for the dog?
He says, Ten bucks.
[Bb] He says, Ten dollars for a dog like that?
[Eb] He says, Ah, he's full of shit.
He's never done any of that [N] stuff.
He's never done any of that stuff.
[F] [E]
[G] [Bb]
[F] [Gm] Throughout history, there have been many songs [Bb] written about the eternal triumph.
[D] Name three.
[G] [F]
[N] Throughout [D] history.
Hang
[G] [Dm]
[F] down your good cop.
[C]
Hang down your good cop.
To leave your boy around [F] tonight.
Hang her on the mountain.
Never mind [C] her life.
Hang her on the mountain.
Step [D] her with my [F] life.
Hang down your good cop.
To leave your [C] boy
[G] around [F] tonight.
If I am tomorrow, look at who [C] I'll be.
[D] And the vicar [C] graces I've been [F] in Tennessee.
Hang down your good cop.
To leave your [D] [C] boy around tonight.
Hang down your good cop.

Despite the fire,
Rest in peace,
[C] [D] Darling, I'm so [C] lonely, so bad.
