Old Shep Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 1. OhG, when I was a lEmad, Old ShAep was a pup

  Over hDills and meadows we'd sGtray

  Just a boy and his dEmog, we were boAth full of fun

  We gDrew up together that wGay

  I rCemember the time at the oGld swimming hole

A--D

When I would have drowned beyond doubt

  Old SGhep was right tEmhere, to the rAescue he came

  He jDumped in and helped pull me oGut

2. As the years fast did roll, Old Shep he grew old

His eyes were fast growing dim

And one day the doctor looked at me and said

I can do no more for him Jim

With hands that were trembling, I picked up my gun

And aimed it at Shep's faithful head

But I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run

I wished they would shoot me instead.

3. He came to my side and looked up at me

He laid his poor head on my knee

I stroked the best friend a man ever had

I cried 'til I scarcely could see

Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go

No more with Old Shep will I roam

But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing I know

Old Shep has a wonderful home.
