C
i was the driver for the driveby
of the neighbor's dog
Am
dad had always hated it
D/F#
and he said "come on son,
Dm
get into the vega now,
G Cadd9 G
and i'll go get my shotgun."
it was a military holiday
and kids were everywhere
i hid behind the steering wheel
and tried to disappear
tried to speak but couldn't
G C C7
dad was whistling and drinking beer
F
and i prayed "dear god,
G C G/B
if you save this dog
Am Dm
i will never get high
E Am
i will never jack off
Am/G F G C G/B
i will do all the things that i should but have not
F C G
i'll be a good boy from now on"
Verse: in this verse (and the last as well), the first repeat of the
chord progression is omitted, and it ends on the C7 leading
into the Chorus as before.
we turned around the corner soon
and saw the neighbor's yard
did lit up a cigarette
and rolled his window down
and grinning like an idiot
he stuck his head and body out
Chorus:
