Walking My Puppy
I’m [G] walking my [D7] puppy a-[C] round to-[D7] day
It’s [G] sunny and it’s [D7] nice in the [C] town [D7]
My [G] puppy is [D7] straining to [C] run and [D7] play
But the [C] leash is slowing him [D7] down
Yeah the [C] leash is slowing him [D7] down
As I walk [G] around [D7] [C] [D7] [G] [D7] [C] [D7]
“Are [G] you walking [D7] him, or is [C] he walking [D7] you?”
Neighbor [G] Lennie says while [D7] raking his [C] yard [D7]
It’s [G] old and it’s [D7] corny but it’s [C] also [D7] true
Puppy [C] wants to run ‘cross the [D7] yard
Yeah, he [C] wants to run fast and [D7] hard
Across the [G] yard [D7] [C] [D7] [G] [D7] [C] [D7]
I [G] smile and con-[D7] tinue to [C] walk be-[D7] hind
A [G] puppy who just [D7] wants to be [C] free [D7]
A [G] couple more [D7] weeks and [C] he’ll be [D7] fine
He will [C] learn to walk nice with [D7] me
He will [C] still be happy with [D7] me
Just a little less [G] free [D7] [C] [D7] [G] [D7] [C] [D7]
I [G] guess it’s im-[D7] portant to [C] work it [D7] out
To [G] learn the [D7] rules of the [C] game [D7]
But [G] as we [D7] learn what it’s [C] all a-[D7] bout
Do we [C] lose a bit while becoming [D7] tame?
Do we [C] lose ourselves by playing the [D7] game?
Ain’t it a [G] shame? [D7] [C] [D7] [G] [G] [D7] [C] [D7] [G]
