A Politicians Dog
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: D
[Intro]
A7 D7 G7 C
[Verse 1]
A
Well now, I was born on a Texas ranch
D
But it seems like I never did get a chance
G
To cut the mustard like my daddy Rover
C
Roll in the grass and get dirty all over
A
I'm a dog.
D
Registered beagle
G C
The name of our little old ranch was the LBJ
[Verse 2]
A
When I was just a long-eared wet-nose pup
D
Big Daddy Lyndom came and picked me up
G
Held me up seven feet to the Texas sky
C
And told a bunch of newsmen standing by
A
His name's Him.
D
Him's a he-dog
G C
Some of them fellas didnt believe him, had to look for themselves
[Verse 3]
A
Well, I picked up all the hound dog habits
D
Coolin' fireplugs and chasin rabbits
G
Even had one or two lady friends
C
But that's where the end of my fun begins
A
Beause one day the president pulled my ear
D
And said Sorry, Him, it's election year
G
Flash bulbs popped like a machine gun
C
And I knew right then I'd have to help him run
A
Me in luck
D
Wantin some night life
G C
Just a big ol' frustrated beagle in a jet airplane
[Instrumental]
A D G C
[Verse 4]
A
Well, me and my sister Her set sail
D
With LBJ on the campaign trail
G
Tryin' to keep the Republicans fumin,
C
Flyin around till I was sick as a human
A
Workin all day and stayin up late
D
Lickin tourists at the White House gate
G
Nibblin congressmen an keepin them nervous,
C
Playin hide and seek with the Secret Service
A
Trackin down Russians
D
Bitin ambassadors
G C
Tryin to learn how to bark in a foreign language
[Verse 5]
A
I tell ya right now, it was gettin me down
D
Every time a king or queen hits town
G
The vet hurries over and combs my hair
C
Clips my nails and sprays me everywhere
A
Til I smell like a hundred magnolia trees
D
And the powder flies every time I sneeze
G
I could leave all this stuff alone
C
For a good case of fleas and one old bone
A
But that's politics
D
Had to get out the vote
G
Sleep with a stopped up nose
C
In an air-conditioned doghouse
