Best Friend (The Dog Song)
By: Tom Seley
(I tuned the guitar a half-step down and played this song in the key of B on the album,
I play it in C live)
You can scratch your own back
You don’t have fleas
You stand up in my defense
When they make fun of me
You brush your own teeth
You don’t bark a lot
You don’t have a crazy name
Like Bingo, Fido or Spot
Dogs are good and dogs are nice
But they never spoke up and gave me good advice
You can take ‘em for walks and there’s tricks they can do
But I would rather hang out with you
They say that a dog is a man’s best friend
But my best friend is you
When you fall
It’s always nice to have a friend
To be there when you hit the ground
To pick you back up again
Like when my car broke down
I knew all I had to do was call your phone
If you were a dog,
I would to had to hoof it on home alone
Chorus
Solo Verse
Chorus
You can roll over once
But you don’t play dead
You have all kinds of brains and thoughts
Rollin around in your head

We have the funniest conversations
Laughin’ all day long
I know that it’s just understood
But it sounds better in a song
And if you like it you can sing along
Double Chorus
