A great song, Raptor.
I especially like the acoustic demo version here.
(put a capo on the 2nd fret to play along with the above link)

(the bridge below is not on the above linked acoustic version, but is on the more rocked-up album version)


  My Dog And Me
  by John Hiatt
  
  C (lift off & on middle finger)
  
           C                       F        C
  Well she marked our trail up the Backbone Ridge
  Am                 G       F
  How many times can one dog pee?
               C                         F      C
  She lifts me high as an eagle when I'm on the skids
          Am               G      F
  But you gotta come home eventually
  
  (G7)  F       C         G7    C
  Buddy I would walk that extra mile
         F     C           G7    Am
  For an extra bark and an extra smile
         F       G       Am
  `Cause I never felt so free
         F       G7      C        F   C
  It was just my dog and me
  
  
  Then she gives me that look like she'd lay down her life
  I have no doubt she would, in a minute, man
  I know she'd face the bullet or she'd face the knife
  Just to keep my ass from the frying pan
  
  And now she runs up ahead to chase some deer
  Then comes back to tell me that the coast is clear
  Man, it's a different world I see
  When it's just my dog and me
  
  (bridge) 
  Am          F     C             G     G7
  There's.... a.... rabbit on the run
  Am      F       C                 G
  Man.... and.... beast and setting sun
            F              G             Am
  Now who's talkin' to the birds and the trees?
            F       G7      C
  Well, it's just my dog and me
  
  
  Now it looks like we've been layin' tracks
  From the crack of dawn to the end of day
  It's always nice and easy down the Devil's Back
  Man, she wouldn't have it any other way
  
  Now it's back over that ridge, down that one last height
  Before we're safe at home by the fire side
  And dreamin' these dreams for free
  Yeah, it's just my dog and me
  
  Oh, I never felt so free
  And it was just my dog and me

You were close... but the album version is in E (E,A,D,Cm).

I posted chords to go with the acoustic version linked to and it's in D.

And I think you meant C#m instead of Cm above.

(except that I added the bridge from the album version, which is NOT on the version at the link)

Love the words, but.....

Ah, some clever script kiddy has disabled all button clicks in the window - so the fact that I can't get some of the graphics to show and the sound to work without clicking on something means that I can't hear the sound, nor get all the graphics to display!

Sigh!
