  G                     C  
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend, 
D7                  G 
He'll never Let You Down. 
                               C  
He's honest and faithful right up to the end,     (First Time Only) 
     D7                                     G     D7   D7   G   G 
That wonderful one, two, three, four-legged friend. 



verse 1: 
  G                       C 
A woman's like cactus and cactus can hurt, 
       D7                                    G 
'Cause she's just a tight-waisted winky-eyed flirt. 
                                    C 
She'll soon have your land and your pride and your gold, 
    D7                                 G 
And bury you deep long before you grow old.

verse 2: 
  G                    C 
A two-legged hombre is worthless as sand, 
      D7                                   G 
He'll smile like a saint with a gun in his hand. 
                               C 
He'll promise to stick by your side like a pal, 
    D7                                  G 
But he'll also promise the same to your gal.

verse 3:Slow single strum chords, until last line 
    G                        C  
Who carries your burden, who carries your load, 
   D7                              G 
On tumbleweed land or a long dusty road. 
                              C 
Who asks you no questions, who tells you no lies, 
     D7                                     G 
That four-legged friend with the two honest eyes.
