Rhett Akins - Old Bird Dog Chords

CAPO 1


Intro: G, Dm, C, G   2X


(Verse 1)

              G
Sometimes I'm mad at the world 

Mad at this town 
Dm
Mad 'cause I can't lose the same five pounds 
      C                                          G 
That I've been tryin' to lose for three or four years now. 
             G
Sometimes I feel like a truck that just won't run 
       Dm
On the side of the road in the July sun 
       C
There ain't another car for miles 
            G
That I can thumb down. 
         F
I guess every now and then 
        C              G
You're gonna land on a bad day 
       F     
Though I still do 
C                 D
I know I can't complain. 


(Chorus 1)

        G
'Cause I love what I do 

Love where I'm at 
   F
Love a strong cup of coffee and my old black hat 
    C
My big wool blanket 
                       G
Sleepin' in my cowboy boots 

I love my old bird dog 

I like to watch him run 
    F                           C       
My red guitar I bang around on some 
      Dm C  F  C   G
And I love lovin' you 
        Dm C  F  C   G
Baby, I love lovin' you. 


(Verse 2)

     G
Now heaven to me it's a simple thing 
          Dm 
It's just you and me 

And a phone that don't ring 
C                                  G
Popcorn poppin' on a lay around Friday night. 

Seein' you smile when I wake up 
             Dm
The way you slide to the middle of my pick up truck 
     C                                    G
The way you say baby, it's all gonna be alright 
     F                 C               G
When I walk in at the end of a worn out day 
    F               C            D
And I see you baby, how can I complain. 


(Chorus 2)
        G
'Cause I love what I do 

Love where I'm at 
   F
Love a strong cup of coffee and my old black hat 
    C
My big wool blanket 
                       G
Sleepin' in my cowboy boots 

I love my old bird dog 

I like to watch him run 
    F                           C       
My red guitar I bang around on some 
      Dm C  F  C   G
And I love lovin' you 
        Dm C  F  C   G
Baby, I love lovin' you. 

SOLO

(Chorus 3)

         G
Well, I love where I've been 

I don't look back 
        F (pause)
I thank God for the life he lets me have 
    C 
My big wool blanket 
                        G
Sleepin' in my cowboy boots 
          G
I love my old bird dog 

I like to watch him run 
    F                           C
My red guitar I bang around on some 
      Dm C  F  C   G
And I love loving you 
        Dm C  F C   G
Baby, I love lovin' you. 
      Dm C  F C      G  Dm, C, G
Hey I love lovin'.. you
