A7 Em7 A7 D A6 D
Along a mountain pass
G D A6 D
There is a patch of grass
G D A6 D D6 D7
Where the swingin' shepherd plays a tune;
G Fdim G
His sheep never stray,
G Fdim G
Dancin' all day
Gdim D Em7 Fdim D Cdim
Til they see the pale and yellow moon,
B7 A7 Em7/9 A7
And then he leads his flock
Em7 Gdim Cdim A7
And homeward they all rock
A A9 A D D7 G Gm7 A A7 A7/6 D
To the tune of the swingin' shepherd blues
D9 A7 D9 G
Come home, shepherd
D A7 D6/9 A7 D7
Play those haunting trills
G6 Fdim G Fdim
Come home, shepherd,
D F#m Em7 Fdim B7
Let it echo through the hills,
Em7 A7 G/B A A9 A D D7 G Gm7 A A7 A7/13 D6
The swingin' shepherd blues.
