3 -3b  4   5   5    4
A-long a moun-tain pass

  3  -3b 4   5    5   4
There is a patch of grass

  3   -3b  5    5    4    3   -3b   3  -3b
Where the swing-in' shep-herd plays a tune

 4    -5   4   6   -5
His sheep ne-ver stray

-5   4    6   -5
Dan-cin' all day

 5     4   3  -2b  2    2   -2b -2b  3
Till they see the pale and  yel-low moon

-3b  -4   4    5   5    4
And then he leads his flock

3   -2b   3     5   5   4
And home-ward they all rock

3   3   4   -3  -3 -3b  -3b   3    2    1
To the tune of the swing-in' shep-herd blues


CHORUS

 2     3   4    3      2    3     4   3
Come home shep-herd, Play those haunt-ing

 -3      -3b   4   -5    4
Trills. Come home shep-herd

 2   3 4  3    -3    -3b    3    
Let it e-cho through the hills, 

3    6   5    6    -3b   4
The Swing-in’ Shep-herd Blues

VERSE 2

And down the moun-tain pass, 
There live a pret-ty lass 
Who’s wait-in for the moon to shine a-bove 
She dress-es with care, braid-in’ her hair 
For her one and on-ly swing-in’ love.
And she knows he’ll nev-er roam be-cause she
Waits at home for the tune of
The Swing-in Shep-herd Blues

ENJOY!!
