Introduction:
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 Fº G
His sheep never stray,
G Fº G
Dancin' all day
Gº D Em7 Fº D Cº
Til they see the pale and yellow moon,
B7 A7 Em7(9) A7
And then he leads his flock
Em7 Gº Cº 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

Play those haunting trills

Come home, shepherd,
D F#m Em7 Fº B7
Let it echo through the hills,

The swingin' shepherd blues.
