Key: Bb

-6 7  -7* -9   -9  -7*
A-long a moun-tain pass 
 -6   7 -7* -9   -9  -7*
There is a patch of grass 
-6 7  -7*  -9   -9   -7*  -6    7   -6   7*
Where the swing-in' shep-herd plays his tune 
-7*  -9*  -7* 10   -9*
His sheep nev-er stray 
 -9* -7* 10  -9*
Danc-in' all day 
 9*   -7* -6  -5* -5-3*-5-3*-5*  6   -6
Till they see the pale and  yel-low moon 
7-7* 8  -7*   8*   8*  -7*
And then he leads his flock 
-6   -5*  -6   8*   8*  -7*
And home-ward they all rock 
-6-5*-6 -7*  7*  7*   7   -6*-6-5*  -5   -3*
To  the tune of the swing-in' shep-herd blues
