CHORUS:


[E]          
Well, I'm sitting here wondering would a matchbox hold my

[E7]
clothes?


          [A]          
Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering would a matchbox hold my

[E]
clothes?


        [B]                    [B7]                     [E]
I ain't got no matches but I sure got a long way to go.



#1.


[E]                                                 [E7]
Well, I'm an old poor boy and I'm a long way from home.


       [A]        [A7]                                [E]
I'm an old poor boy and I'm a long, long way from home.


           [B]        [B7]                              [E]
Guess I'll never be happy 'cause everything I do is wrong.



CHORUS:



#2.

[E]                                           [E7]
Let me be your little dog 'til your big dog comes.


       [A]       [A7]                           [E]
Let me be your little dog 'til your big dog comes.


          [B]            [B7]
When your big dog gets here, show him how this puppy dog 

[E]
runs.




CHORUS:




A fifties and sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
