Verse 1

          A          D               A
There's a fairground down in Chattanooga
        A                                E7
Where a kiddy train runs up and down the track
           A                        D
There's an old black hound with his tongue hanging down
       A           E7             A
And he chases that train down and back

Chorus

             D                     A
And I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
E7                              A
   Even though I know you don't care
         D                     A
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
       D            E7       A
And it ain't gonna get me no where

Verse 2

          A             D                A
Well, I'm thinking that you're like that old train
    A                     E7
Evrybody gets a ticket to ride
        A                      D
And I'm like that pup, I won't ever give up
       A           E7         A
I'd do anything to be by your side

Chorus

             D                     A
And I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
E7                              A
   Even though I know you don't care
         D                     A
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
       D            E7       A
And it ain't gonna get me no where

Verse 3

      A            D                  A
Every day when the kiddies come for a playing
   A                              E7
To ride that ol' kiddy train once more
             A                              D
There's that old faithful hound that always hangs around
    A                E7       A
And running 'til his feet get sore

Chorus

             D                     A
And I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
E7                              A
   Even though I know you don't care
         D                     A
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
       D            E7       A
And it ain't gonna get me no where
