Verse:
   C majorC   B minorBm    C majorC  D MajorD
And many a dog went wandering
  C majorC    A minorAm    D MajorD  B minorBm
To sup on fortune’s dregs
   C majorC   B minorBm    C majorC    D MajorD
And many a dog came straggling home
   C majorC   F#F#     B minorBm
His tail between his sorry legs
