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