Verse 1
             G          C   Am          D7
I found a little black dog, out New Or-leans,
            G            C     Am           D7  
Where the rain changes hard streets into streams
        G        C          Am     D7     
as the day faded dark from under a car,
          G          C      Am      D7    
crept a little black dog, Cold wet coat,
           G           C   Am  D7
has this little black dog

  G             C
Somehow those eyes,
      Am         D7           G           C
They pulled me a-way from my place at the bar,
Am           D7       G            C
Bar at the bottom of old Bourbon Street,
 Am           D7          G       C
Only place to go, out on New Or-leans,
   Am        D7           G       C    Am  D7
A cold wet night, out on New Or-leans

   Won’t someone stop a moment,
           Am      E        Am
Should you see him on the street ?
Bm                         E7
   There’s plenty little black dogs,
        Am   Am/G     D
I will never  get to meet


Verse 4
    G            C      Am        D7
I cried to this small ghost of a dog,
          G         C       Am            D7
Who had nothing at all, was all skin and bone,
          G          C        Am            D7
Oh, my little black dog, you come away with me,
           G            C
For I’ll feed you, and keep you,
   Am            D7             G          C
A-way from this hole they call Old Bourbon,
   Am       D7           G       C    Am  D7
A cold wet home down in New Or-leans
