Dog In The Yard chords by Jamey Johnson

Listen to the song for the feel and strum pattern
The strum pattern is very similar to "high cost of living"

A
You don't have to keep me on no chain
                                            E
I come running when I hear you call my name

I must not be too hard to train
                        A
Took you no time at all

A

A

You don't really like none of my friends
                                          E
You never really know just where I've been

When I slip up on your porch at 4AM
                     A
Like an old stray dog


Chorus:

        E
You scratch me and you pet me
        D
And you fight me
      A
And even let me win
A
Now and then
    E
You scold me you tease me
         D
Then you hold me
        A
And tell me I'm your friend
E
A
    Making love to you babe
         D
Ain't so hard
         A
You treat me like a
E           A
Dog in the yard

A
Sometimes you kick at me when I'm down
                                          E
It drives you crazy when I just lay around

No matter what you do I think I've found
           A
The perfect home

Chorus once then:

A             A
Aww You treat me like a
E           A
Dog in the yard
