Elvis - Old Shep
Intro - G - G7 - C
(verse 1)
C A7 D7
When I was a lad, and old Shep was a pup,
G7 C C A7
Over hills and meadows we'd roam, just a boy and his dog,
D7 G G7 C
We were both full of fun, we grew up together that way,
(verse 2)
F C
I remember the time at the old swimmin hole,
Gdim G7
When I would have drowned beyond doubt,
C A7 D7
But old Shep was right there, to the rescue he came,
G G7 C
He jumped in and then pulled me out,
(verse 3)
C A7 D7
As the years fast did roll, old Shep he grew old,
G G7 C
His eyes were fast growing dim,
C A7 D7
And one day the doctor looked at me and said,
G G7 C
I can't do no more for him Jim,
(verse 4)
F C
With a hand that was trembling, I picked up my gun,
Gdim G7
I aimed it at Shep's faithful head,
C A7 D7
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run,
G G7 C
I wish they would shoot me instead,
(verse 5)
C A7 D7
He came to my side, and looked up at me,
G G7 C
And laid his old head on my knee,
C A7 D7
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had,
G G7 C
I cried so I scarcely could see,
(verse 6)
F C
Old Shep he has gone, where the good doggies go,
D7 G7
And no more with old Shep will I roam,
C A7 D7
But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing I know,
G G7 C
Old Shep has a wonderful home,
