[G] [D] [G]
Everyone says [Cm] I'm lazy,

Never had no [Cm] ambition [G] to be called [D] a [Bb] [G] millionaire.
So [D] I'll never [Db] waste my [Bm] time wishin' in my good [Gb] old rockin' [D] chair.
[G] Set [D] my [G] fire with my hound dog by my side.
[C] We're [Cm] as happy [G] as [E] the bees.
[Db] I'm toastin' knees and [D] he's scratchin' [G] fleas.
Nothin' [D] to worry [G] about, lest the dog on fire goes out.
Then [C] I'll throw on a log, [G] me and [E] my dog, [A] [D] sittin' by [G] the fire.
[C] Some [Ab] people [Dm] cravin', keeps them [G] a [C]-slavin', savin' [D] every dollar [C] bill.
[Eb] When [B] they're buried, [Fm] their kids [Gm] all get married, [Cm] and start to fightin' [Gbm] over [D] their will.
[G] I [D] don't have [G] to breathe, about the dog I'm gonna leave.

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