[Bm]My dog, he's a good dog, he [G]won't go through the [Bm]trash
[Bm]my dog, he's not a tough dog, so I [G]named him Johnny [A]Cash
like a [G]boy named Sue, [D]he's true blue
[G]stands much taller than he [D]seems to
[Bm]My dog, he's a good dog, so I [G]named him Johnny [D]Cash


[Bm]My dog he can't really sing, but he [G]howls and barks just [Bm]fine
[Bm]My dog he doesn't always wear black but he [G]always walks the [A]line
he's [G]never been to Jackson [D]or to Folsom
he [G]cry cry cries when [D]he gets lonesome
[Bm]My dog, he's a good dog, and he [G]always walks the [Bm]line


[Bm]My dog he's got rhythm and he's [G]never been to [Bm]jail
[Bm]You can find him by Big River, just a-[G]wagging his [A]tail
He [G]likes to ride on the [D]Rock Island Line
And he [G]never gets tired of hearing [D]Suppertime
[Bm]My dog's he's a good dog and he's [G]never been to [D]jail


[Bm]My dog he doesn't have a gun and if he [G]did he wouldn't take it to [Bm]town
[Bm]My dog he's never picked cotton but he [G]knows about missing some[D]one
he [G]doesn't know Frankie, but he's [D]heard her name
and he's [G]never gone to the Fool's [D]Hall of Fame
[Bm]My dog he's a good dog and he wouldn't [G]take a gun to [D]town


[Bm]My dog he doesn't like those songs where the [G]dog dies in the [Bm]end
[Bm]my dog he likes it better when [G]everybody just stays [A]friends
[G]maybe he's got a little [D]Pollyanna
[G]in the mix, with some [D]Texarkana
[Bm]My dog he's not going to die when this [G]song comes to an [D]end 


[Bm]My dog, he's a good dog, he [G]won't go through the [Bm]trash
[Bm]my dog he's not a tough dog, so I [G]named him Johnny [A]Cash
like a [G]boy named Sue, [D]he's true blue
[G]stands much taller than he [D]seems to
[Bm]My dog, he's a good dog, so I [G]named him Johnny [D]Cash
