When [A] I [F#] was a lad, an [B] old Shep was a pup, [E]

we'd stray.

We grew up together [A] that way.
[D] I remember [Dm] the time [A] at the old farm, When I [F#] would have drowned [B] beyond doubt.

Shep was [F#] right there [B] to the rescue he came, [E] He jumped in and helped [A] pull me out.
The years [F#] passed along [B] and at last he grew old, [E] His eyesight was fast [A] growing dim.
Then one day [F#] the doctor [B] looked at me and said, [E] I can't do no more for [A] him Jim.

I stroked the [F#] best pal [B] that a man ever found, [E] I cried so I scarcely [A] could see.
[D] Old Sheppy [Dm] he knew [A] he was going, For he reached [F#] out and licked at [B] my hand.
[A]
He looked [F#] up at me [B] just as much as to say, [E]
I hate you but [A] you understand.
Now old [C] Shep is gone, [E] where the good doggies [A] go, [F#m] And no more [B] will [E] I roam.
