(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(D) / /

(Verse)
He hears a (D)jingle on the door
Lifts his (Bm)head up off his paws
Tail (G)wagging on the concrete floor
Oldest (Em)dog the rescues (A)got
Little girl (D)looks in every cage
Eyes light (Bm)up soon as she sees
The pup that (G)showed up yesterday
"Hey (Em)mama can we keep her (A)please?"

(Pre-Chorus)
It's (G)closing time, December (D/F#)23rd
They (Em)cut the lights, (A)guess it ain't his turn

(Chorus)
(G)He just wants a backyard full of snow
(D/F#) Spot on the couch to call his own
(A) Name on a collar and a bowl
(Bm) And someone putting (A/C#)something in it (D/F#)
(G) To lie beside the fireplace
(D/F#) To have his picture in a frame
(A) He's been a good boy everyday
(Bm) Hey Santa (A/C#)if you're (D)listening
(G)He don't want a (D/F#)bone
He don't want to lick the (D/F#)dishes
(Em)He just wants a home (A)
A (A)home for Christ-(D)mas / / / |(D) / / / |

(Verse)
(D)He don't need no stocking or (Bm)some new chew toy wrapped
Save the bows, (G) save the boxes, he (Em)don't need all of (A)that
But that (D)sleighs already headed, a-(Bm)round the world and back
Just (G)take him where he's wanted, is (Em)that too much to (A)ask?

(Chorus)
'Cause (G)he just wants a backyard full of snow
(D/F#) Spot on the couch to call his own
(A) Name on a collar and a bowl
(Bm) And someone putting (A/C#)something (D/F#)in it
(G) To lie beside the fireplace (D/F#) to have his picture in a frame
(A) He's been a good boy everyday, (Bm) hey, Santa (A)if you're listening
(G)He don't want a bone, he don't (D/F#)want to lick the dishes
(Em)He just wants a home, (A) a home for Christ-(D)mas / / / |(D) / /

(Break)
Hears a (D)jingle on the door, lifts his (Bm)head up off his paws
De-(G)cember 24th, finally (Em)hears that cage un-(A)lock

(Chorus)
Now (G)he jumps in a backyard full of snow
(D/F#) Up on the couch to call his own
(A) Names on a collar and a bowl
(Bm) He never (A)thought he'd (D)get it
(G) He lies beside the fireplace
(D/F#) Sees his picture in a frame
(A) He'll been a good boy everyday
(Bm) Hey, Santa (A/C#)thanks for (D)listening
And (G)throwing him a bone, and (D/F#)checking off his wishlist
All he (Em)wanted was a home (A)
A home for Christ-(D)mas / / / |(D) / / / |(D) / / / |(D) / / - - - - -
