          C 
i was the 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, 

    G                        Cadd9   G 
and i'll go get my shotgun.' 
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 


        G                         C   C7 
dad was whistling and drinking beer 


      F 
and i prayed 'dear god, 

       G         C   G/B 
if you save this dog 

       Am        Dm 
i will never get high 

       E          Am 
i will never jack off 

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

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




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 

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

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


Bridge: 

        E7          E7sus4 
well he popped in a shell 

     Am           G 
took aim with the gun 

       Am          G 
then a flash and a bang 

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


       F                  C   G 
jumped up and it ran away 

        F                            C   G 
dad had shot right through his chain 

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 

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

              F              C   G 
you're such a good good god 

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

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