Our Dog by Jake Thackray
Our Dog
Tuning: E A D G B E

Song starts at [3:20]
NOTE: I've transcribed this tab in standard tuning, although
I think Jake played this in Em with his guitar tuned down a
full tone to DGCFAD. Either way the song is in Dm.

[Verse 1]
Dm
You haven't got a bloody clue,
E Am Am/G Am
You never ever do the things that proper dogs do,
Dm
Like finding your way home,
G C Csus2 C
Or what to do with bones, as proper dogs do,
F E Am C7
You walk in your sleep, you feel worried by sheep,
F
Oh, Jesus Christ,
E Am Am/G Am
I've never ever known a dog as clueless as you
[Verse 2]
Dm
You haven't got a bloody clue,
E Am
If I threw you a stick you'd bring me back a lampshade,
Am/G Am Dm
You stare at empty chairs,
G C Csus2 C
When there is no one there, you listen to the radio,
F E Am C7
You sniff ladies frocks, and the crotches of clergymen,
F
Jesus Christ,
E Am Am/G Am
I've never ever known a dog as clueless as you
[Verse 3]
Dm7 G7 C E/B
But, you are so nice, ...oh, so nice,
F E Am C7
You bark at the darkness, you fart at our parties,
Dm7 G7 C E/B
But, you're so nice, ...oh, so nice,
F E Am Am/G Am
Visitors who visit us, visit us twice
[Verse 4]
Dm
You haven't got a bloody clue,
E Am Am/G Am
I know no other dog that's got a favourite handbag,
Dm
You've got no sense of smell,
G C Csus2 C
You cannot even tell a policeman from a lamp post,
F E Am C7
You sleep and you eat, and, God knows, you ex - crete,
F
Oh, Jesus Christ,
E Am Am/G Am
I've never ever known a dog as clueless as you
[Verse 5]
Dm7 G7 C E/B
But you are so nice, ...oh, so nice,
F E Am C7
Burglars a - dore you, they come back for more of you,
Dm7 G7 C E/B
So nice, ...ah, so nice,
F E Am Am/G Am
Burglars who burgle us, burgle us twice
[Verse 6]
Dm
You haven't got a bloody clue,
E Am Am/G Am
I couldn't give a toss, because I rather like it,
Dm
I couldn't give a toss,
G C Csus2 C
Because you do not do the things that proper dogs do,
F E
You don't bite, you don't fight,
Am C7
There is no kind of spite about you,
F E
Jesus Christ, I'm pretty sure,
Am Am/G Am
Would love a dog as clueless as you
[Verse 7]
Dm7 G7 C E/B
Because you are so nice, ...ah, so nice,
F E Am C7
No howling, nor prowling, or scowling, no growling,
Dm7 G7 C E/B
Just so nice, ...oh, so nice,
F E Am Am/G Am
People who think of you, think of you twice

(Additional verse sometimes used)
[Verse 8]
Dm7 G7 C E/B
You are so nice, ...so nice,
F E Am C7
So senseless and weak, so de - fenceless and meek,
Dm7 G7 C E/B
But you're so nice, ...so nice,
F E Am Am/G Am
Jesus will have you in his par - a - dise
