the puppy song
DESCRIPTION
Harry Nilsson's "The Puppy Song". There's 2 versions, Harry's and the one by Mary Hopkin. Same song, but different keys. Personally I think the one in D sounds better on a uke.TRANSCRIPT
The Puppy Song
Key: D (Harry Nilsson)DDreams are nothing more than wishes,
And aGwish is just a dream you wish would come
Ctrue. Whoo-
G7who–o
IfConly I could have a puppy
AI’d call myself so very lucky
DJust to have some company to
Gshare a cup of
G7tea with me.
IdCtake my puppy everywhere,
Ala, la, la, la, I wouldn’t care.
DBut we would stay away from crowds with
Gsigns that said “No
G7dogs allowed.”
OhCwee I know hed never bite
D7me.
G7
CWee I know hed never bite
D7me.
G7
IfConly I could have a friend
Awho’d stick with me until the end
DAnd walk along beside the sea
Gand share a bit
G7of moon with me
I’dCtake my friend most everywhere,
Ala, la, la, la, I wouldn’t care
DBut we would stay away from crowds with
Gsigns that said “No
G7friends allowed.”
Oh,Cwee! We’d be so happy to
D7be.

CWee! We’d be so happy to
D7be to-
G7gether.
DBut dreams are nothing more than wishes,
And aGwish is just a dream you wish would come
