Verse 1

G                                 C
I'm walking the dog and I'm never blue
                G                         D7
I'm walking the dog I ain't thinking bout you
                G             C
I don't need no one to tie me down
                G           D7           G
I'm walking the dog and I'm painting the town

Verse 2

             C            G
Such an easy life I never knew
          A7              D7
Until the day that I left you
                        G             C
Well I'm a carefree lad that seen the light
                G           D7          G
I'm walking the dog all the day and all night

Verse 3

                                            C
Well I'm full of strength I just can't grow old
                  G                 D7
I got a one track mind so I've been told
              G                     C
But I'm fancy free I don't worry no how
                    G       D7           G
And I'm walking the dog all the law will allow

Verse 2

             C            G
Such an easy life I never knew
          A7              D7
Until the day that I left you
                        G             C
Well I'm a carefree lad that seen the light
                G           D7          G
I'm walking the dog all the day and all night
