[Verse 1]
D
I had an old dog, and his name was blue
                               
Bet your life he was a good dog too
D
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
                            
Possum won, got the best of him


[Chorus]

D       Bm
Bye-bye blue
G            D
You good dog, you
D       Bm  
Bye-bye blue
G            D
You good dog, you



[Verse 2]
D
Blue he died, and he died so hard
                              
He shook the ground in my backyard
D
We lowered him down with a golden chain
                          
Every link we'd call his name


[Chorus]
D       Bm
Bye-bye blue
G            D
You good dog, you
D       Bm  
Bye-bye blue
G             D
You good dog, you


[Verse 3]
D
My old blue was a good old hound
                                     
You could hear him holler for miles around
D
When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do
                               
I'll grab my horn and call old blue


[Chorus]
D       Bm
Bye-bye blue
G            D
You good dog, you
D       Bm  
Bye-bye blue
G            D
You good dog, you


[Chorus]
D       Bm
Bye-bye blue
G            D
You good dog, you
D       Bm  
Bye-bye blue
G            D
You good dog, you
