Well, I'm sitting here wondering 
                              A7
would a matchbox hold my clothes?
      D                         
Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering

I ain't got no matches but

Well, I'm an old poor boy 
                        A7

Guess I'll never be happy 
                          A
'cause everything I do is wrong.

Let me be your little dog

'til your big dog comes.

Let me be your little dog 
                    A

When your big dog gets here, 
                              A
show him how this puppy dog runs.
