CHORUS:
<b class="chord">C</b>
Well, a good dog on the ground's worth three in the saddle,
<b class="chord">C</b>
No matter where you're from
<b class="chord">C</b>
Been many good dog was a friend to a man,
<b class="chord">C</b>
But Sam was the greatest one
<b class="chord">C</b>
He was a hound of hounds
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
He was the wonder of all walkers
<b class="chord">C</b>
He loved howlin' at the moon
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
He loved treein' that racoon
<b class="chord">C</b>
Most of all, he was my best friend
<b class="chord">C</b>
And he's gone too soon

VERSE:
<b class="chord">C</b>
He was the runt of the litter but a plenty mean pup
<b class="chord">C</b>
Put Sam on the scent, and he never let up
<b class="chord">C</b>
Spent his nights on the porch, chewin' on a bare bone
<b class="chord">C</b>
Now he's underground, and I'm all alone
