Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(C major) When I was a lad, (A major) old (D major) Shep was a pup
Over fields (G major) and meadows we'd (C major) stray (G major)
(A major) A (G major) (C major) boy and a dog (A major) gie,
how (D major) happy we were
As we (G major) grew up together that (C major) way
I remem (F major) ber the time (F sharpdim) at
(D major) the (C major) old swimming hole,
When I would have (A major) drowned
beyond (D major) doubt. (G major)
Shep (C major) pie was there, (A major)
and (D major) he jumped right in
Like a (G major) good dog,
he pulled me (C major) out (A minor) (G major) (C major) (A major) (D major)
Yeah, had a little (G major) dog named Tippy then.
We had the same thing, (C major)
an (A minor) d (A major) he (C major) went blind. (A major)
My grandfather said (D major) we better get a bag
and put something in there
to put him to sleep before
he gets run over. (G major) (C major)
Now old (F major) Shep, he's gone
(D major) Where the good (C major) doggies go
And no more with old (A major) Shep will I (D major) roam
If (G major) (C major) dogs have a heav (A major) en
And I'm (D major) sure that there's one
That old (G major) ship has a wonderful home
(C major)
