D F#
I been shufflin' a lonesome old trail.
G E
I'm gonna send a letter to my dog in the mail.
D A D A
Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.
D F#
My legs are tired and my feet are draggin',
G E
But I ain't gonna stop 'til I see his tail waggin'.
D A D
Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.
A D Bm
I heard that proverb tell, a dog is a man's best friend.
E
There's no more detainin', I'm walkin', it's rainin',
A C A
Packy's waitin' at the rainbow, he's waiting at the rainbow's end.
D F#
The clouds drift, the world is so wide,
G E
A fellow feels lucky with a dog by his side.
D A D A
Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.
D F#
A two-bit mutt, he ain't worth a dollar,
G E
But you're sure gonna dig it when he comes when you holler.
D A D A
Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.
Here I come...
(instrumental)
You know that
A D Bm
I heard that proverb tell, a dog is a man's best friend.
E
No more detainin', now I'm walkin', it's rainin',
A C A
Packy's waitin' at the rainbow, he's waitin' at the rainbow's end.
D F#
Hey Packy, I'm comin' home.
G E
I'm gonna scratch your little head, I'm gonna give you a little bone.
D A D A
Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.
D F#
Some folks look hard searching for somethin'
G E
They could see so plain in that dog's tail thumpin'.
D A D A
Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.
D F#
Some folks are wonderin' why they was born.
G E
They ain't never been swimmin' with a dog in the morning.
D A D
Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.
