Verse 1
When (G major) (B flat major) I was a (G major) lad,
old (C major) Shep was a pup,
over hills (F major) and valleys we'd (B flat major) roam.
Just a boy and his (G major) dog,
we were (C major) both full of fun,
we grew (F major) up together that (B flat major) way.
I remem (F major) ber the time at the
(B flat major) old swimmin' hole,
When I would have drowned
bey (F major) ond doubt.
Shep (B flat major) was right there, (G major)
to the (C major) rescue he came,
He jumped (F major) in and helped pull me (B flat major) out.
So the years rolled along, (G major)
and (C major) at last he grew old
His (F major) eyesight was fast growing (B flat major) dim
Then one day the doc (G major) tor looked (C major) at me
and said,
I can (F major) do no more for him, (B flat major) Jim
With a (F major) hand that was trembling,
I (B flat major) picked up my gun,
I aimed it at Shep's faithful head. (F major)
I just (B flat major) couldn't (G major) do it, I wanted (C major) to run,
I wished (F major) that they'd shoot me instead. (B flat major)
I went to his (G major) side and sat (C major) on the ground,
He laid (F major) his head on my (B flat major) knee.
I stroked the best (G major) pals
that a (C major) man ever found,
I cried (F major) so I scarcely could (B flat major) see.
Old Sheppey, (F major) he knew he was (B flat major) going to go,
But he reached out and licked at my (F major) hand.
He looked (B flat major) up at (G major) me,
just (C major) as much as to say,
We're part (F major) ing, but you understand. (B flat major)
Now old Sheppey's (G major) gone,
where (C major) the good doggies go,
No more (F major) with old Shep will I (B flat major) roam.
But if dogs have a (G major) heaven,
there's one (C major) thing I know,
Old Shep (F major) has a wonderful home. (B flat major)
you
Old Shep
