Lyrics

[Intro]
| A | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
          A
Well, I'm sitting here wondering
Will a matchbox hold my clothes
          D
Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering
                               A
Will a matchbox hold my clothes
       E7
I ain't  got no matches
                          A
But I got a long way to go

[Verse 2]
          A
I'm an ol' poor boy and a long way from home
          D                             A
I'm an ol' poor boy and a long way from home
           E7
Guess I'll never be happy
                         A
Everything I do is wrong, yeah

Till your big dog comes
       D
Let me be your little dog

Till your big dog come
         E7
When the big dog gets here

Show him what this little puppy done
