[Intro]
E  A   E   B7  E   A   E   B7   E
[Verse]
I B7met a nice old man today, oh, yes, oh
And he sure had a lot to say, a Egood long time ago
I've B7led a soldier's occupation, oh, yes, oh
In every part of this big nation, a Egood long time ago
I've B7seen the world and roamed its places, oh, yes, oh
I guess I've been in a million places, a Egood long time ago
[Verse]
But there are Atimes when soldiering gets Elonely
You B7long for friendly compaEny
So when you Afind an unfamiliar Ecity
B7Here's advice that always worked for Eme
[Verse]
B7When your train gets into town, oh, yes, oh
Just make a beeline for the pound, a Egood long time ago
B7Don't just wander helter-skelter, oh, yes, oh
Seek the nearest animal shelter, a Egood long time ago
[Verse]
You soon will Afind the truest of comEpanions
A B7little dog can melt a heart of Estone
Just when you Athink you're up a dreary Ecanyon
A B7puppy's love can bring you close to Ehome
[Verse]
B7Find a store and buy some twine, oh, yes, oh
Now tie the doggie to the line, a Egood long time ago
B7Thus prepared for any weather, oh, yes, oh
Dog and man will stand together, a Egood long time ago
[Verse]
For mothers Awarn their daughters of the Edangers
Of B7soldiers in their quest for Egirls
ANever, never speak to Estrangers
UnB7less they're from the canine Eworld
[Verse]
A B7sweet young maid in passing by, oh, yes, oh
Saw my smile but made no reply, a Egood long time ago
The B7puppy fixed his gaze upon her, oh, yes, oh
Two steps more and she was a goner, a Egood long time ago
[Verse]
The sands of Atime have swept away the Eheartaches
The B7tears, the parting, and the Epain
The little Apup I gave her for a Ekeepsake
Will B7always remind me of what's-her-Ename (what's-her-name?)

[Intro]

E A E B7 E A E B7 E

[Verse]

I met a nice old man today, oh, yes, oh

And he sure had a lot to say, a good long time ago

I've led a soldier's occupation, oh, yes, oh

In every part of this big nation, a good long time ago

I've seen the world and roamed its places, oh, yes, oh

I guess I've been in a million places, a good long time ago

[Verse]

A E

But there are times when soldiering gets lonely

B7 E

You long for friendly company

A E

So when you find an unfamiliar city

B7 E

Here's advice that always worked for me

[Verse]

When your train gets into town, oh, yes, oh

Just make a beeline for the pound, a good long time ago

Don't just wander helter-skelter, oh, yes, oh

Seek the nearest animal shelter, a good long time ago

[Verse]

A E

You soon will find the truest of companions

B7 E

A little dog can melt a heart of stone

A E

Just when you think you're up a dreary canyon

B7 E

A puppy's love can bring you close to home

[Verse]

Find a store and buy some twine, oh, yes, oh

Now tie the doggie to the line, a good long time ago

Thus prepared for any weather, oh, yes, oh

Dog and man will stand together, a good long time ago

[Verse]

A E

For mothers warn their daughters of the dangers

B7 E

Of soldiers in their quest for girls

A E

Never, never speak to strangers

B7 E

Unless they're from the canine world

[Verse]

A sweet young maid in passing by, oh, yes, oh

Saw my smile but made no reply, a good long time ago

The puppy fixed his gaze upon her, oh, yes, oh

Two steps more and she was a goner, a good long time ago

[Verse]

A E

The sands of time have swept away the heartaches

B7 E

The tears, the parting, and the pain

A E

The little pup I gave her for a keepsake

B7 E

Will always remind me of what's-her-name (what's-her-name?)
