Verse 1
D
B

When I was a lad and
E

old Shep was a pup
A
D

Our hills and meadows went stray
A
D
B

Just a boy and his dog
E

we were both full of fun
A

We grew up together that way
D
G

I remember the time
D

at the old swimming hole
A
B

When I would have drowned
E
A

beyond doubt
D
B

But Chip was right there
E

to the rescue he came
A

He jumped in and helped pull me out
D
A
D
B

As the years rolled on by,
E

old Sheppie grew old
A
D

His eyesight was fast growing dim
A
D
B
E

One day the doctor looked at him and said
A
D

I can do no more for him, Jim
G
Gm

With a hand that was trembling,
D

I picked up my gun
B
E

And I aimed it at Shep's faithful head
A
D
B

But I just couldn't do it,
E

I wanted to run
A

And I wished that they'd
D
A

shoot me instead
D
B

Old Shep looked at me,
E

his eyes were so sad,
A
D
A

Aw, he laid his head on my knee.
D
B

Then I stroked the best pal
E

that I ever had.
A
D

Yes, I cried so I scarcely could see.
G
Gm
D

Oh, Sheppie, he knew he was going to go
A
B
E
A

For he reached out and licked at my hand
D
B

He looked up at me just as
E

much as to say
A

We're partying, but you understand
D
A
D
Bb

Now old Shep is gone,
A
D

where the good doggies go
E
A

And no more with old Shep will I roam
D
B

But if dogs have a heaven,
E

there's one thing I know
A
D

Old Shep has a wonderful home you

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
