Verse 1
I (G major) reckon this bloke on the piano
used to play on the telly, you know that?
I'm sorry about that, Sheila.
I've got to admit it was a bit on
the crudey side, you know.
So I think we'd better settle down now
and (A major) do one of the (G major) more classical songs,
right?
Classics, good old classics. (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) When I was a (A major) lad,
that old (D major) ship was a pup
All (G major) the hills and the meadows we'd roam (C major)
Just a boy and his dog, (A major)
we were (D major) both full of fun
We (G major) grew up together that way (C major)
I re (F major) member the time at the
(C major) old swimming hole
Even I would have drowned
(A major) beyond doubt (D major) (G major)
But (C major) old Shep was right (A major) there,
and to (D major) the rescue he came
He (G major) jumped in and helped pull (C major) me (G major) out (C major)
Well, the years rolled (A major) along,
(D major) and at last he grew old
Just like me dad, you know
(G major) His eyesight was fast growin' dim (C major)
Well then, Snow, one (A major) day the old doctor
He (D major) looked at me and said
I (G major) can't do no more for him, (C major) Jim
With (F major) a hand that was trembling
I (C major) picked up me gun
And I aimed it at (A major) Sheppey's
faithful (D major) head (G major)
Well, I, (C major) you know, I just could (A major) n't do it. (D major)
I wanted to run,
an (G major) d I wished that the bastards
would shoot me instead. (C major) Well,
you know, I went to (A major) his side,
(D major) sat there on the ground,
(G major) and he laid his old head on me (C major) knee.
I stroked the best pout
(A major) that (D major) a man ever found
And (G major) I cried so I scarcely could see (C major)
Oh (F major) Sheffy, he knew he was (C major) going to go
For he reached out and
licked (A major) at me (D major) hand (G major)
You (C major) know, he looked (A major) up at me
just (D major) as much as to say we're (G major) partying,
but you under (C major) stand.
Now (F major) old Shep is gone,
where (C major) the good doggies go,
and no more with old (A major) Shep will (D major) I row. (G major)
Dogs (C major) have a heaven, (A major) that's (D major) one thing
I know, Old (G major) Shep has a wife,
I can't finish this (C major) bloody thing,
I'm sorry fellas, I'm home.
Old Shep
