Capo 4

C             F
I never knew another like you
    G                        C
You always took good care of me
C                      F
Not long ago you could run like the wind
      G                     C
While I napped underneath a tree

You’d chase a ball to the end of the world
And all I ever did was throw
You’d bring it back and drop it for me
And beg me for another throw


F   G           C
How could there be
        F  F/E   G
So much en-er----gy
C                       F
Stored up inside a cold nose and quick stride
    G                 C
I’m sure I will never know


Chorus:
          F    G         C 
One day a gray beard and whiskers
         F         F/E  G
Made the young dog disappear
            Am  Am/B      C
Now I’m all teardrops and whispers
      F      G        C
Since one of us ain’t here

You never knew what I was up to
Those times when I left you all alone
But you would stay there by your favorite chair
And was so glad when you came back home


Am  Am/B  C           F  F/E C
You never knew how to be un--true
C                    F
You made me see what you felt for me
        G                   C 
Was the deepest love I ever knew


Chorus

Since one of us ain't here
