Elvis Presley - Old shep

Oh, when ^CI was a ^A7lad, Old ^DShep was a pup Over ^G7hills and meadows we'd ^Cstray ^G7 Just a ^Cboy and his ^A7dog, we were ^Dboth full of fun We ^G7grew up together that ^Cway ^C7 I re^Fmember the ^F7time at the ^Cold swimming hole When ^CI would have ^A13drowned beyond ^D7doubt ^G7 Old S^Chep was right ^A7there, to the ^Drescue he came He ^G7jumped in and helped pull me ^Cout

As the ^Cyears fast did ^A7roll, Old ^D9Shep he grew ^D7old His ^G7eyes were fast growing ^Cdim ^G7 And ^Cone day the ^A7doctor looked ^Dat me and said I ^G7can do no more for him ^CJim ^C7 With ^Fhands that were ^F7trembling, I ^Cpicked up my gun And ^Caimed it at ^A7Shep's faithful ^D7head ^G7 But I ^Cjust couldn't ^A7do it, I ^D9wanted to ^D7run I ^G7wished they would shoot me in^Cstead.

He ^Ccame to my ^A7side and ^Dlooked up at me He ^G7laid his poor head on m^Cy knee ^G7 I ^Cstroked the best f^A7riend a ^Dman ever had I ^G7cried 'til I scarcely could ^Csee ^C7 Old ^FShep, he has ^F7gone where the ^Cgood doggies go No ^Cmore with Old ^A7Shep will I ^D7roam ^G7 But if ^Cdogs have a ^A7heaven, there's ^D9one thing I ^D7know Old ^G7Shep has a wonderful ^Chome.
