[Intro]
||: Dm7 / / G7/ / | Am / / Am/G / Am / :|| [x2]
[Verse 1]
You haven't got a bloody Dmclue,
You never ever Edo the things that proper Amdogs do, Am/G Am
Like finding your way Dmhome,
Or what to do with Gbones, as proper Cdogs do, Csus2 C
You Fwalk in your Esleep, you feel Amworried by C7sheep,
Oh, FJesus Christ,
I've never Eever known a dog as Amclueless Am/Gas Amyou
[Verse 2]
You haven't got a bloody Dmclue,
If I threw you a Estick you'd bring me back a Amlampshade,
Am/G Am You stare at empty Dmchairs,
When there is no one Gthere, you listen to the Cradio, Csus2 C
You Fsniff ladies Efrocks, and the Amcrotches of C7clergymen,
FJesus Christ,
I've never Eever known a dog as AmcluelessAm/G as Amyou
[Verse 3]
But, you are Dm7so G7nice, C ...oh, so E/Bnice,
You Fbark at the Edarkness, you Amfart at our C7parties,
But, you're Dm7so G7nice, C ...oh, so E/Bnice,
FVisitors who Evisit us, Amvisit Am/Gus Amtwice
[Verse 4]
You haven't got a bloody Dmclue,
I know no other Edog that's got a favourite Amhandbag, Am/G Am
You've got no sense of Dmsmell,
You cannot even Gtell a policeman from a Clamp post, Csus2 C
You Fsleep and you Eeat, and, God Amknows, you ex - C7crete,
Oh, FJesus Christ,
I've never Eever known a dog as Amclueless Am/Gas Amyou
[Verse 5]
But you are Dm7so G7nice, C ...oh, so E/Bnice,
FBurglars a - Edore you, they Amcome back for C7more of you,
Dm7So G7nice, C ...ah, so E/Bnice,
FBurglars who Eburgle us, Amburgle Am/Gus Amtwice
[Verse 6]
You haven't got a bloody Dmclue,
I couldn't give a Etoss, because I rather Amlike it, Am/G Am
I couldn't give a Dmtoss,
Because you do not Gdo the things that proper Cdogs do,Csus2 C
You don't Fbite, you don't Efight,
There is Amno kind of C7spite about you,
FJesus Christ, I'm pretty Esure,
Would love a dog as Amclueless Am/Gas Amyou
[Verse 7]
Because you are Dm7so nG7ice, C...ah, so E/Bnice,
No Fhowling, nor Eprowling, or Amscowling, no C7growling,
Just Dm7so G7nice, C ...oh, so E/Bnice,
FPeople who Ethink of you, Amthink of Am/Gyou Amtwice

But you're Dm7so G7nice, C ...so E/Bnice,
FJesus will Ehave you in Amhis par - Am/Ga - Amdise
