Little Buddy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Broken [C]hearted and so sad,
golden curls all wet with [F]tears,
'Twas a [G]picture of sorrow
[C]to see.
Kneeling close to the side of
his pal and only [F]pride,
A [G]little lad these words he told me.
[C]

[Verse 2]
He was such a lovely doggie
and to me he was such fun,
[F]but tod[G]ay as we
played by [C]the way
A drunken man got mad at him
because he barked in [F]joy,
He [G]beat him and he's
dying here today.
[C]

[Verse 3]
Will you call the doctor please and
tell him if he comes right [F]now,
he'll [G]save my precious doggie
'cause I'll [C]pray.
Then he stroked the fluffy head
but his little pal was [F]dead,
Just [G]a shiver and he slowly
passed away.
[C]

[Verse 4]
He didn't know his dog had died,
so I told him as he cried
[F]"Come with me son we'll get
[G]that doctor right away"
"But I can't leave [C]him here alone,
I must get my doggie home
So while you're gone I'll kneel
beside him, sir and I'll pray."

[Verse 5]
But when [F]I returned he had his
little [G]pal upon his knee
And the teardrops [C]they were blinding
his big blue eyes,
"You're too late,
sir my doggie's dead and no help can save him now
But [F]I'll meet my precious Buddy
[G]up in the sky."
[C]

[Verse 6]
By a tiny narrow grave,
where the willows sadly [F]wave,
[G]are these words on a shingle
[C]of pine:
"Little Buddy rest in peace,
God will watch you [F]through' the years,
Cause I [G]told Him in my prayers
that you were mine."
[C][F]
