Man and Dog (Loudon Wainwright III)

The whole song is C  C7 F  C  G7  C, with various pauses as like when you see "..."
 
[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
       C                                                      C7
When a man has a dog in the city ... man needs to walk in the park
F                                                                      C
Take a little stroll by the riverside, smoke a cigarette there in the dark
              G7                       C
Living in the city, man living with a dog
 
[Verse 2]
       C                                                      C7
And a man has to carry him a plastic bag on his person at all times
 F                                                 C
When a dog dumps on a sidewalk, walkin’ away is a crime
              G7                       C
Living in the city, man walkin’ with a dog
 
[Verse 3]
   C                                                           C7
A man likes livin’ in the city ... but a man has to find some work
F                                                                      C
Walkin’ with a dog is a kind of a job, make you feel like a fool and a jerk
               G7                  C
Living in the city, workin’ like a dog  (work out)

[Verse 4]
C                                                                    C7
Dog likes living in the city ... in the city there’s a lot of other mutts
F                                                          C
Checkin’ in front, checkin’ in back, no ifs, no ands, just butts
              G7                       C
Living in the city, dog checkin’ out a dog
 
[Verse 5]
          C                                                              C7
(Spoken) It’s a pretty good way to meet a woman, if a woman is walking a dog
          F                                                              C
Just say, what’s her name, how old is she, it’s easy like rolling off a log
                G7                      C
Checkin’ out a woman, man acting like a dog
 
[Verse 6]
       C                                                            C7
When a man has a fight with a woman, then the man needs to go for a walk
F                                                C
Walkin’ with a dog is easy, he listens, he don’t talk
G7                 C
      Talkin’ to a dog  (talk to me)
 
[Instrumental]
| C     | C  C7 |
| F     | F  C  |
| G7    | C     | C     |
 
[Verse 7]
C                                                                           C7
Walkin’ with dog in the winter, in the wind, in the rain, in the snow is a drag
     F                                                                    C
It’s hard as hell to keep a cigarette lit and get the shit in the plastic bag
G7                                       C
  Living in the city, man walking with a dog
 
[Verse 8]
       C                                                                                          C7
When a man has a dog in the city ... (very long pause with harmonies) ... man needs to walk in the park
F                                                                     C
Take a little stroll by the riverside, smoke a cigarette there in the dark
              G7                      C
Living in the city, man living with a dog
