As recorded by Lou Reed (From the 1974 Album SALLY CAN'T DANCE) [Intro] D A F G D A F G D [Verse 1]
           A
Miss Riley had a dog

G                      D
She used to keep it in her backyard

                   A
And when the dog began to bark

G                   D
All the neighbors began to shout

            A
Then came a stormy night

G              D
Miss Riley let her dog out

                       A
And when the neighbors found him 'round

           G                      D
They put a gun down his mouth and shot him down

D
And he went
[Chorus]
       A  G     D
Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow

       A  G     D
Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow
[Verse 2]
            A        G
Miss Murphy had a cat

       D
On her lap it sat

              A
And once in a great big while

   G                         D
It looked like that Cheshire cat did smile

             A
But often it used to chase

G             D           G
Anything that crossed its face

D              A
But one day it got so hot

     G                D
That Cheshire cat had a blood clot

D
And she said
[Chorus]
       A   G      D
Ooohhh-meow, me-meow

       A   G      D
Ooohhh-meow, me-meow
[Guitar Solo]
A  F  G    D  A  F  G
       Meow
[Verse 3]
             A
And then the dog met the cat

    G                   D
The dog was hot and the cat was wet

               A
Then came some sweaty dude

   G             D            G D
He put a board between the two

          A
Then they couldn't get at it

G              D    G
Got frustrated all about it

D                    A
So they did the only thing you could do

              G
They took the dude's sweat and shot it up between the two

    E         D
And they said
[Chorus]
       A  G     D
Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow

       A  G          D
Ooohhh-wow, bow, me, wow
[Outro] D A F G D A G D
