Old Yeller Chords

  			This is the theme song from the movie "Old Yeller" 
 
I used a capo on the third fret to eliminate the G# and D#  
in key change of the song.  The song is in the key of D.

Old Yeller was a mongrel 
    E 
An ugly, lop-eared mongrel 
  B                          F# 
Fancy free without a family tree 
    B               
But he could up and do it 
      E 
And prove there's nothing to it 
     B            F#             B 
And that's how a good dog should be

Old Yeller was a hunter 
    E 
A rearin', tearin' hunter 
    B                             F# 
In any chase he knew just how to run 
     B 
And when he hunted trouble 
     E 
He always found it double 
     B                F#        B 
And that's when Old Yeller had fun

Old Yeller was a fighter 
     F 
A rootin', tootin' fighter

A rough and ready fellow

Although his coat was yellow 
     C           G             C 
His bold Texas heart was true blue
