Words and music Bob Dylan
Taped in the Basement (1967)
Tabbed (no, not really – transcribed) by Eyolf Østrem

Played over a sustained G with a capo on the 2nd fret, and with occasional G-C/g-G embellishments.

Every time I go to town
the boys keep kicking my dog around
Don’t know why I’m going to town
I don’t know why they kick my dog around

let me hear you now:

(dog, dog, dog
dog, dog, dog
dog, dog, dog
why, why, why
why, why, why
why, why, why
why, why, why)

Every time I go to town
the boys keep kicking my dog around
I don’t know why I’m going to town
I don’t know why they kick my dog around

(dog, dog, dog) yes, yes, yes
(why, why, why) oh-ho
(dog, dog, dog) why, why, why
(why, why, why) dog around

Every time I go and get a meal
I can see the boys they’re planning to steal
My here dog, he’s waggin’ his tail
he helps me pick up the morning mail (bark, bark, bark)

Every time I go to town
the boys keep kicking my dog around (kick, kick, kick)
I don’t know why they kick my dog around
I just keep go-oing to town (bark, bark, bark)

I don’t know why
(why, why, why) I don’t know bark
(dog, dog, dog) I don’t know why
(bark, bark, bark) bark-a bark, bark
(quack, quack, quack) duck, duck, duck
(duttuduttudu) pig pig pig
(…) fuck fuck fuck
(bark bark bark) dig dig dig
