Gilbert was just eighteen years of age when he first took himself a wife
                                        E                             A7
But she proved to be unfaithful, so the swag and open road became his life
          D
He turned bitter against all women, only used them when he could
       G                           D
and he only had contempt for other men
   G                                  D
He worked and drank and wandered all alone except for one,
  G              A7            D
a mangy old blue heeler, for a friend

[Verse]
D                              G                             D
Years ago, old Gilbert found a puppy by the roadside left to die
                              E                                 A7
Hungry and frightened, nearly frozen ′neath the frosty southern sky
        D
Gilbert picked him up and raised him, and a bond of friendship grew
  G                                  D
a friendship that was never known to bend
     G
Then one day, Gilbert woke to find his old track mate was gone
         G                 A            D
and he began a search that never was to end

[Instrumental]
D    G    A7
G    D    G    A7   D

[Verse]
D                                 G                               D
Gilbert used to work a while, and then he'd go to town on one big   spree
                                   E                            A7
For it was the only way he knew to ease the pain of hurtful memories
        D
So in a coastal town while Gilbert drank away his cares
    G                                D
His old dog was impounded there, and so
          G                             D
When they couldn′t find it's owner, the dog was put to sleep
       G                 A7            D
And perhaps it's best if Gilbert never knows

[Verse]
D                                      G                                      A7
Gilbert roamed from town to town still searching for the friend he′d never find
       D                              E                                      A7
Oh, it was the final blow from fate that really turned the old man′s twisted mind
  D                                                  D7
He was ridiculed in barrooms; he was laughed at in the streets
G                                           A7
Still searching for his friend across the land
 G                                           D
'Til someone found him dead one day ′neath a table in a park
       G            A7                    D
With a collar and a chain clutched in his hand

[Verse]
D                              G                             D
