The day we brought him home
He [F] was just a little pup
[C] barely six weeks old
[G] He chewed the place up
[C] When he wasn't running circles [F] and tripping on his feet
[C] He was over in the corner
[G] Laying fast asleep
[Am] He dreamed of chasing rabbits
[F] Or so the old folks say
[C] Little did he know
[G] All the fun we'd have one day
[C] When he was two years old
[F] He was coming in his own
[C] He was learning how to hum [G] and man how he grown
He [C] had a ways to go
[F] But there was fire in his eyes
[C] He had enough heart
[G] For a dog twice his size
[Am] And he dreamed of circling mallards
[F] And I'd call his name
[C] Little did he know
[G] He was well on his way
[C] Oh by the time he turned five [F] he was really in his prime
[C] We spent each winter day
[G] Together in the blind.
[C] Oh the birds that dog [F] retrieves I
Pretty soon lost track
[C] He'd hit that icy water
[G] And never once look back
[Am] He dreamed of honkers falling in the [F] blind where he stayed
[C] Little did he know
[G] We were living our best days
[C] Now he's 10 years old
[G] And he years ain't been kind
[C] He wants to hunt like we used to do but the [G] strength is hard to find
[C] There's a fire still in the eyes [F] of that great and kindly face
[C] But his old and faithful bones
[G] Just cannot keep pace
[Am] He dreams about the good [F] years
As he fades away
[C] Little does he know all his [G] pain will end today
