Subject: I'M WALKING THE DOG

I'M WALKIN' THE DOG
Recorded by Webb Pierce
Written by Cliff and Tex Grimsley

[1] I'm a-walkin' the dog
And I'm never [4] blue
I'm a-walkin' the [1] dog
I ain't thinkin' 'bout [5] you
Don't need no [1] one to tie me [4] down
I'm a-walkin' the [1] dog, and a-[5] paintin' the [1] town.

Such an easy [4] life I never [1] knew
Until the day that I left [5] you
Well, I'm a carefree [1] lad that's seen the [4] light
I'm a-walkin' the [1] dog, all the [5] day and all [1] night.

Well, I'm full of pep, I just can't grow old
I got a one-track mind, so I've been told
But I'm fancy-free, I don't worry nohow
And, I'm walkin' the dog, all the law will allow.

Such an easy life I never knew
I can't believe it's really true
Well, I'm a carefree lad that's seen the light
I'm a-walkin' the dog, all the day and all night.


delete comments:  a little confusing at first.....guess you have
to get used to it......i knew about the system from being around
other musicians.....but always used the CHORDS I CAN SEE METHOD.
