verse 1 

Get for me a dog that bites 

Turn him loose on moonless nights 
             E        C     Am 
Get for me a dog that bays 
                                   Dm   G  Am 
And turn him loose on sunless days 
G                   Am 
Someone’s trying to hurt me 


verse 2 

Build for me a house of stone 

Lock it up when you leave me alone 
                 E        C     Am 
And cage it in a fence of iron 
             E7             Am 
To keep your child from all harm
