Lyrics:

Intro G
G C
I try to get up every morning - with a smile - and apply the golden rule
D G D
But sometimes that old devil temps me - and I go acting like a fool
G C
Dear Jesus I keep trying to be perfect - but I'm just a mortal man
D G
Lord help me be the kind of person - my dog thinks I am

Sometimes I go to church on Sunday
C
With Saturday's whiskey on my breath
D G D
But I keep praying and promising to quit - before I drink myself to death
G C
Help me walk the straight and narrow - change this light into a lamp
D G
Oh Lord help me be the kind of person - my dog thinks I am

C
I know he's just a mutt - but he don't judge me
G
When times get pretty hard
C D
He fetches me my bible - and there's my liquor in the yard

Break - G-C-D7-G-D &. G-C-D7-G

G
I can feel your love inside me Lord and I know that
C
I'll be coming home someday
D G D
When I do I pray you will find a pair of wings - for old Jake


G
Now the preacher's been really good to me
C
But I know who's really been there in a jam
D G
Lord help me be the kind of person - my dog thinks I am
D G D G
Dear Lord help me be the kind of person my dog thinks I am
