Why did my dog have to up and die?
      Am     Am11     F     C
Sweet Lord it wasn't his time
C                           F      C
Why are all the good people I know crying?
     Am         Am11     F    C
When damnit I'm doing just fine
C                  F     C
What is the doctor gonna find?
        Am          Am11  F         C
When he drills a hole in my father's spine.
       C                           F          C
If the cancer doesnt kill ya it'll take your pride

Sweet Lord we're all gonna die

[Verse 2]
C                  F         C
I hadn't spent any time with You
        Am       Am11         F       C
Singing hospital hymns in the waiting room
        C             F        C
I'm the very last one to hear the news
            Am           Am11   F  C
And there's nothing that I could do
       C                     F         C
'Cause death is a friend you can't refuse
      Am        Am11        F    C
Sweet Lord we're coming home soon
     C              F      C
Mama I got holes in all my shoes
    Am     Am11 F   C
and plenty left  to lose

[Verse 3]
     C                   F           C
Just read that old book, it'll be alright
        Am          Am11     F          C
But the Bible never gave me no peace of mind
    C                          F            C
My prayer started tasting like little white lies
Am            Am11    F  C
Everything is gonna be fine
Am            Am11    F  C
Everything is gonna be fine
       Am            Am11    F  C
Honey, everything is gonna be fine
    C                    F       C
But women are masters of wasting time
    Am      Am11        F        C
And men rape everything in their sight
   C                           F        C
Together all we're good for is starting fights
      Am         Am11       F      C
Sweet Lord we're gonna burn in the fire

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
 C              F       C
If this song is my final breath
       Am            Am11   F      C
If I'm killed by the cancer in her breast
       C               F      C
Let me give the little I have left
    Am     Am11  F   C
And die an honest death

[Outro]
