He May Be Your Dog But He's Wearing My Collar

Good luck finding this baby anywhere else. Rosa Henderson. This isn't the key she sings in, but it's playable, and it's more comfortable for my range. I think it's lower by a Major third.

I'm not ashamed to say what's in my heart

| G | D |

I'm not ashamed to say what's in my heart

| G | D |

Because I know the best of friends must part

| D | D | G | D |

You came to me, you said my dog was yours

| G | D |

You came to me, you said my dog was yours

| G | D |

I'm not ashamed to speak my mind because

| D | D | G | D |

He may be your dog, but he's wearing my collar

| G | G - E |

I'm putting you wise

| A7 - D | G |

He may be your dog, but it's me he'll follow

| G | D |

when he wants good exercise.

| D | A7 - D |

All day long you'll treat him right

| G7 | G7 |

But you'll find him at my house every night

| C9 | D9 - G |

He may be your dog, but he's wearing my collar

| G | G - E |

How you gonna keep him home?

| A7 - D | G |

I'm not ashamed to say when I am wrong

I'm not ashamed to say when I am wrong

Because I know a lie can't stand up long

Down in my home to lie is some disgrace

Down in my home to lie is some disgrace

That's why I mean to tell you to your face:

He may be your dog, but he's wearing my collar

I'm putting you wise

He may be your dog, but it's me he'll follow

when he wants good exercise.

He might eat right off your hand,

But you can't make him beg like Mama can

He may be your dog, but he's wearing my collar

How you gonna keep him home?

[instrumental break]

He's with you each night 'til six

Then he comes over here and does his tricks

He may be your dog, but he's wearing my collar

How you gonna keep him home?
