Hank Snow – Blind Boys Dog (Guitar)

C                          F     D7
I gave my dog to Uncle Sam in 1943

G7                           C
He sailed across the sea and died for liberty

                                     F                 D7
Now that you are sending hero's home I just can't understand

G7                                   C
Why don't you send my dog home Uncle Sam

     G7                               C
It's true no more he'll lead me as he did in days of yore

      D7                            G7
He'll never be a blind boy's pal no more

C                                         F               D7
But I know that he gets lonesome sleeping in some distant land

G7                                      C
Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam

                              F                 D7
I gave my dog to Uncle Sam he was so strong and smart

G7                                C
We knew right from the start that we should do our part

                                F          D7
They wrote he died a hero t'was in the telegram

G7                                      C
Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam

      G7                            C
He'll sleep beneath Old Glory right here on daddy's farm

     D7                               G7
I'll be close by to keep him from all harm

C                                    F                   D7
No one knows how much I miss him and how lonesome now am I

G7                                      C
Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam
