i was the [C]driver for the driveby

of the neighbor's dog

[Am]dad had always hated it

[D/F#]and he said "come on son,

[Dm]get into the vega now,

and [G]i'll go get my shotgun."[Cadd9][G]
it was a military holiday
and kids were everywhere
i hid behind the steering wheel
and tried to disappear
tried to speak but couldn't

dad was [G]whistling and drinking bee[C]r[C7]

Chorus:

and i [F]prayed "dear god,

if you [G]save this [C]dog[G/B]

i will [Am]never get [Dm]high

i will [E]never jack [Am]off

[Am/G]i will [F]do all the things that i [G]should but have [C]not[G/B]

i'll be a [F]good boy from now on"[C][G]


Verse: in this verse (and the last as well), the first repeat of the
chord progression is omitted, and it ends on the C7 leading
into the chorus as before.

we turned around the corner soon
and saw the neighbor's yard
did lit up a cigarette
and rolled his window down
and grinning like an idiot
he stuck his head and body out

Chorus:

and i prayed "dear god,
if you save this dog
i will never get high
i will never jack off
i will be all the things that i should but have not

i'll be a [F]good boy from now on[E7sus4][Am][Am/G]

i'll be a [F]good boy from now on"[C][G]

Bridge:

well he [E7]popped in a [E7sus4]shell

took [Am]aim with the [G]gun

then a [Am]flash and a [G]bang

and the [E/G#]dog, it was [Am]gone...

jumped [F]up and it ran away[C][G]

dad had [F]shot right through his chain[C][G]

[E7] [E7sus4] [F] [G]

Verse:

well dad said "take me to the dairy freeze
i want to have a shake"
we sipped them on the benches there
and stared out on the lake
and dad has never said another word about that day

Chorus:

and i hope you're not disappointed in me
'cause i still get high
and i still jack off
and you knew i was lying but you still saved that dog

you're such a [F]good god[B7][Am][Am/G]

you're such a [F]good good god[C][G]

you're such a [F]good goddamn backwards [B7]dog[Am][Am/G]

and i'll be a [F]good boy from now on
