Remove AdsSong: Dirty Dog
Artist: Lost Dog Street Band
Album: Homeward Bound (2015)
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Key: D
Notes:
The song has a bit of finger picking and bass string walking
transitions between chords that are relatively
straight forward. There's also some rocking back and forth
on the bass strings (e.g B7 to B7/F# and back).

D B7 E7 A7 D x2
[Verse 1]
D B7Pretty darlin’, I’m going down down down,
E7 A7 Dan' now you’ve said you don’t want me around
D B7I chased a freight train bound out of mind out of town
E7 A7 DTo find my peace in old southern sounds
[Chorus]
G D I dreamt you face by the fire side,
G F#m F#7 I screamed your name in the moon-light
BmBaby, please let me come home, I can’t make it on my own
E7 A7Like a dirty dog, like a dirty ooohhhooohhoho
[Instrumental]
D B7 E7 A7 D x2
[Verse 2]
D B7I stumbled toward Decatur to Go to town for one last round
E7 A7 DAnd I shot poor Louis for the gold he found
D B7I ain’t got my .44 no more and the warden says I’m done for
E7 A7 DAnd darlin' I might never see you again
[Chorus]
G DOh I’m workin’ a shank and countin' the days
G F#m F#7that warden turns his back after spittin’ in my face
BmOh baby, I’m comin home I can’t make it on my own
E7 A7Like a dirty dog, like a dirty ooohhhooohhoho
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D B7Oh I snuck my way back to Baton Rouge to grab some cash to come home to you
E7 A7 DAnd blew the safe at the county bank
D B7Oh I was stuffin’ bills in my coat pocket, runnin’ home through swamp and thicket
E7 A7 DFound my way to our front door
[Chorus]
G DOh I was peekin’ through the shades to find your face
G F#m F#7And there’s another man layin’ where I used to lay
BmOnly two shots rang loud I dug two holes in the ground
E7 A7Like a dirty dog, like a dirty ooohhhooohhoho
[Instrumental]
D B7 E7 A7 D x2

G F#m F#7 I screamed your name in the moon-light
BmBaby, please let me come home, I can’t make it on my own
