[Verse 1]

C Am D D7
When I was a lad and Old Shep was a pup

G G7 C
O'er hills and meadows we'd stray

C Am D D7
Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun

G G7 C
We grew up together that way

[Bridge 1]

F F7 C
I remember the time at the old swimming hole

C G7 G/B
When I would drowned beyond doubt

[Verse 2]

C Am D D7
Shep was right there to the rescue he came

G G7 C
He jumped in and help pull me out

C Am D D7
So the years sped along and at last he grew old

G G7 C
His eyesight was fast growing dim

C Am D D7
Then one day the doctor looked at me said

G G7 C
I can't do no more for him Jim

[Bridge 2]

F F7 C
With a hand that was trembling, I picked up my gun

C G7 G/B
I aimed at Shep's faithful head

[Verse 3]

C Am D D7
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run

G G7 C
And I wished they'd shoot me instead

C Am D D7
I went to his side and sat on the ground

G G7 C
He laid his head on my knee

C Am D D7
I stroke the best pal that a man ever found

G G7 C
I cried so I scarcely could see

[Bridge 3]

F F7 C
Old Shepy he knew he was going to go

C G7 G/B
For he reached out and licked at my hand

[Verse 4]

C Am D D7
He looked up at me just as much as to say

G G7 C
We're parting, but you'll understand

C D/F# G C
Now old Shep is gone where the good doggies go

C Am G
And no more with old Shep shall I roam

C Am D D7
But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing I know
