B
There's a three-legged beagle who lays
there spread eagle
                                F#
On the driveway outside Patti's trailer
He looks like he's sleepin' but he knows she's
dealin'
                               B
And that she's been bonin' the neighbor
There's a mean little poodle we call cranky doodle
                               F#
Ridin' high in Lynnette's Vera Bradley
And he'll take to the grave that her husband is gay
                                B
Cause doodle likes chewin' his panties

Chorus:
                     E
If these dogs could talk
                     B
They'd sure tell on you
                F#7                      B  B7
We're all lucky barkin' is all they can do
                  E                           F#
They dig up your secrets, they know all your trash
                      B
The tales they could tell, the
 F#                 G#m
tongues they could wag
                     C#m
God knows what they'd say
                F#7
Might ruin your day
If these dogs could talk

There's a brown mutt named Patience,
she's always waitin'
For scraps outside of the diner
Leroy is servin', one thing's for certain
A hamburger steak always finds her
He may be a meth head who smokes up his paycheck
But everyone needs a best friend
She may be blind, but she sees him just fine
And don't care what they say about him

Chorus

           C#m                     F#7
They could sniff out the cheaters, point out
the liars
E                        B
Shit on their lawns and piss on their tires
C#m                        F#7
They can smell kindness so maybe be kinder
     E                      F#
And don't even think about kickin' one

Chorus:
They dig up your secrets, they know all your trash
The tales they could tell, the tongues they
could wag
God knows what they'd say, might ruin your day
If these dogs could talk

God knows what they'd say, might make someone's day
If these dogs could talk
