Bm Am
Without fail from dawn to dusk

At our house every day

At least a hundred neighbour kids

Would come around to play

Then one morning in place of Chris

His mother came instead

She looked at me with saddened eyes

and this is what she said.....

Christopher won't come to play today

Shags, poor Shags has hung himself

Short wall, long chain

That dog won't see the sun again
