Verse 1
(G major) When I was a lad (E major)
And old (A major) shep was a pup
Over (D major) hills and meadows we'd (G major) stray
Just a boy and his dog (E major)
We were (A major) both full of fun
We (D major) grew up together that way
(G major)
Verse 2
I re (C major) member the time at the
(G major) old swimmin' hold
When I would have drowned
bey (D major) ond doubt
But old (G major) shep was right there (E major)
To the (A major) rescue he came
He jumped in (D major) and then pulled me out (G major)

Verse 3
As (G major) the years fast did roll (E major)
Old (A major) shep he grew old
His eyes (D major) were fast growing dim (G major)
And one day the doctor (E major)
looked (A major) at me and said
I can do (D major) no more for him (G major) jim
Verse 4
With (C major) hands that were trembling
I (G major) picked up my gun
And aimed it at shep's faithful (D major) head
I just (G major) couldn't do (E major) it
I (A major) wanted to run
I (D major) wish they would shoot me instead
Verse 5
(G major) He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend
that a man ever had
Verse 6
I cried so I scarcely could see
(G major) for ol shep he knew he was going to go
for he reached down and
licked at my hand
then he looked up at
me just as much as to say
we're parting but i understand
Verse 7
Old (C major) shep he has gone
Where the good (G major) doggies go
And no more with old shep will (D major) I roam
But if (G major) dogs have a (E major) heaven
There's (A major) one thing I know
Old shep (D major) has a wonderful (G major) home
Old Shep
