We grew up together that way

As the years fast did roll

And one day the doctor

looked at me and said

With hands that were trembling

I picked up my gun

E
I just couldn't do it
A
I wanted to run

I wish they would shoot me instead
Verse 5
G
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
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

C
Old shep he has gone
G
Where the good doggies go
D
And no more with old shep will I roam
G
E
But if dogs have a heaven
A
There's one thing I know
D
G
Old shep has a wonderful home
