Gm7 A7 A7+9 A7
Come put your ash in my tray
Gm7 A7
Once upon a funky crime
A7+9 A7 Gm7
We were standing in the line
A7 A7+9 A7
And now, we’re walking Melrose down to Vine
Gm7 A7
I was asking her to live on my farm
A7+9 A7
And she was telling me no not today

Can’t stop until I feed her
Eb Bb/D
I want her so badly

I’d wash her and clean her
F Gm
Please tell me, have you seen her?
Eb Bb/D
Outlast her, drive past her
C7
Margarita gonna be my master

[Chorus]
Eb Bb
Bella cries and that’s alright, she’s
F Gm
Weeping on my shoulder again, well

Gm7 A7 A7+9 A7
Where every dog has her day
Gm7 A7
Flip flops in the toaster now
A7+9 A7
Scotch tape on this broken vow
Gm7 A7 A7+9 A7
And wow, it’s time to live without my puppy’s chow
Gm7 A7
I was asking her to live in the sticks
A7+9 A7
And she was telling me there is no way
Gm7 A7
The cheeky monkey was an anarchist
A7+9 A7
And she was telling me she could not stay

She’d rather live in LA
Gm7 A7 A7+9 A7
Down in Marina Del Rey
