G Em A
oh, when I was a lad, old shep was a pup
D G
over hills and valleys we'd stray
Em A
just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun
D G
we grew up together that way
C G
I remember the time at the old swimming hole
A--D
when i would have drowned beyond doubt
G Em A
Old shep was right there to the rescue he came
D G
he jumped in and helped pull me out
