E          E           E               A     B
I asked my dog what he thought the best in man

         E             E              E              B     A
He said, "The love you dispense to me twice daily from a can."

E       E           E                A     B
I said, "Why do you think my question funny?

E         E            E         B     A
And where would you be without my money?"

        E          E          E                    A     B
I said, "There may be some quality in us you must treasure."

E               E        E                        A#
"It's despair," he said, "of which your money is the measure."

E    E           E       A     B
Walk like a dog, talk like a man

E    E           E           A#
Walk like a dog, like anybody can

E       E               E                         A     B
I said, "What about our politics, philosophy, our history?"

         E            E        E                           B     A
He said, "If there is something admirable in these it is a mystery."

E          E           E                              A     B
"But there must be something in our system tell me at your leisure."

E               E            E                             A#
"It's despair," he said, "of which your borders are the measure."

E    E           E       A     B
Walk like a dog, talk like a man

E    E           E           A#
Walk like a dog, like anybody can

E        E               E                         A     B
I said, "What about technology, computers, nuclear fission?"

     E              E        E            B     A
"I'm terrified of radiation, hate the television."

E        E                 E                        A     B
I said, "There must be something in our scientific treasure."

E               E            E                             A#
"It's despair," he said, "of which your weapons are the measure."

E    E           E       A     B
Walk like a dog, talk like a man

E    E           E           A#
Walk like a dog, like anybody can

E         E                E                  A     B
"Feed me, you can beat me. I will love you till I die

    E             E              E             B     A
But don't ask for admiration and don't ever ask me why."

E            E             E                   A     B
I said, "Why wait till now to demonstrate displeasure?"

E               E            E                           A#
"It's despair," he said, "of which my silence was the measure."

E    E           E       A     B
Walk like a dog, talk like a man

E    E           E           A#
Walk like a dog, like anybody can
