Loudon Wainwright III - Man & Dog chords
Start Jamming...
When a man has a dog in the city, a man needs to walk in the park.
Take a [G] little stroll by the [A] riverside, smoke a cigarette there in the dark.
Living in the city, a man [D] living with a dog.
And a man has to carry him a plastic bag on his person at all times.
When a dog dumps on the sidewalk, walking away is a crime.
[E] Living in the city, [A] a man [D] walking with a dog.
A man likes living in the city.
But a man has to find some work.
[F#]
[D] Walking with a dog is a kind of a job that makes you feel like a fool and [B] a jerk.
Living in the [A] city, working [D] like a dog.
Work out.
[G] [D]
[E] [D]
Dog likes living in the city.
In the city there's a lot of other butts.
Chicken in front, chicken in back.
No ifs, no ands, just butts.
Living in [E] the city.
[A] Dog checking [D] on a dog.
It's a pretty good way to meet a woman.
If a woman is walking her dog, you just say, what's her name?
How old is she?
It's easy like rolling off a log [E] checking out a woman.
A man [D] acting like a dog.
But when a man has a fight with a woman, a man needs to go for a walk.
Walking with a dog is easy.
He [E] listens, he don't talk.
[A]
[D] Talking to a dog.
Talk to me. Hey!
[D] [G]
[D] [E] [D]
Walking with a dog in the winter in the wind and the rain and the snow is dry.
It's hard as hell to keep a cigarette lit and get the shit in a plastic bag.
[A] Living in the city.
Man walking with a dog.
When a man has a dog in the city.
Man needs to walk in the park.
Take a little stroll [G] by the riverside.
Smoke a cigarette during the dark.
Living [E] in the city.
[D] Man living with a dog.
