He ran up under the house, people

Like he didn't even know me at all
Bb                                      Ab
Now I hadn't fed him in two or three days
Bb                              Eb
An' he was lookin' kinda thin
Bb                                Ab
Oh, when your dog turn his back on ya, buddy
Bb                                      Eb
You know ya haven't even got a friend
