Verse 1
Bb
Eb
Gil bert was just 18 years of age
Bb
when he first took himself a wife.
But she proved to be unfaithful,
C
so the swag and open
F
robe became his life.
Bb
He turned bitter against all women,
only used them when he could.
Eb
And he only had contempt
Bb
Eb
Bb
for other men
Eb
He worked and drank and
Bb
wandered all alone
Except for one,
Eb
Bb
F
Bb
a mangy old blue -heeler for a friend
Eb
Years ago old Gilbert found a puppy
Bb
by the roadside left to die
Hungry and frightened,
F
beneath the frosty southern sky,
Bb
Gilbert picked him up and raised him,
and a bond of friendship grew,
Eb
a friendship that was never
Bb
known to bend.
Eb
Then one day Gilbert woke to find
Bb
his old track mate was gone
Eb
Bb
F
And he began a search that never was to
Bb

end

Bb
Gilbert used to work a while
Eb
Bb
and then he'd go to town on one big spree
It was the only way he knew

F
to ease the pain of hurtful memories
Bb
So in a coastal town
while Gilbert drank away his cares
Eb
His old dog was impounded
Bb
there and so
Eb
When they couldn't find its owner,
Bb
the dog was put to sleep,
Eb
F
and perhaps it's best if
Bb
Gilbert never knows.
Gilbert roamed from town to town,
Eb
still searching for the friend
F
he'd never find.
Bb
It was the final blow from fate
C
that really turned the old
F
man's twisted mind.
Bb
He was ridiculed in bar rooms,
he was laughed at in the streets,
Eb
Still searching for his friend
F
across the land,
Eb

Till someone found him dead one day
Bb
beneath a table in a park,
Eb

With a collar and a chain
Bb

clutched in his hand.
