[C] Then I'll throw all the [G] logs, me [E] and my dog, [A] [D] sittin' by [G] the fire.
[C] Some [Ab] people [Dm] cravin', keeps [G] them a [C]-slavin', savin' [D] every [C] dollar bill.

[C] You know [Cm] he ain't got no [G] pedigree, [E] [A] but I like him.
[D] He likes me.
[G] I know [D] everything [G] is well, when the old boy wags his tail.
[C] He's [Cm] gettin' to be [G] just about [A] as [E] lazy, [Em] [D] sittin' by [G] the fire.
[C] Holes in [Ab] my bridges [Dm] don't need [G] no stitches, [C] unless the [D] weather switch [C] is round.
[Eb] Then when [B] it's breezy, [Fm] I take [Bb] it easy, [Cm] that's a good excuse to [D] sit down.
[G] [D] I need lots [G] of rest, must have been born [E] tired [G] I guess.
[F] [C] We'll make [Cm] it up, [G] me and [E] my pup, [A] [D] sittin' by [G] the fire.
