[D]
[E] [D]
[G] So, do you have any other ideas about how to [D] begin?
That sounds great.
Just you starting off.
[G#] I'll count it [B] off a little bit and anybody who wants to come in wherever it is, we'll
go through [A] it twice and then sit and then go into [D] it.
One, two, three.
Well, [E] [D]
I had an old dog and his name was Blue.
Had an old [A] dog and [D] his name was Blue.
Had an old dog and his name was Blue.
Bet you five dollars he's a good dog too.
[Bm]
[F#m] Dear [Bm] [F#m] Blue, [G] [D] [G] [Am]
[D] he's a good doggy.
Well, I shouldered my axe and tooted my horn.
Went to find a possum and he grew corn.
Old blue tree down in the winter sea.
Blue had a possum, a tall old tree.
Rose possum, nice and brown.
Eat potatoes all in the rain.
I'd [F#m] say, dear [Bm] [D] old [G] [D] blue, [G] you [D] can have some too.
[Bm] [D]
[Bm] [D]
Now, old blue died and he died so hard.
He made a big den in my backyard.
Dug his grave with a silver spade.
Lowered him down with a link of chain.
Ever [G] really got [Bm] to call his name.
[F#] Dear [G] old, [D] dear [Em] blue, [D] you've been a good dog too.
Now, [Bm] when I get to heaven, first thing I'll do.
When I get [A] to heaven, first [D] thing I'll do.
When I go home to heaven, first thing I'll do.
Pull out the horn and call old blue.
Till I [F#m] say, dear [Bm] [F#m] old [G] doggy, [D] [Em] you [Am] good [D] doggy.
[F#m] Dear [G] blue, [Em] [D]
[Bm] [D]
down boys, [Bm] [D]
good doggy.
