Guinness

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember how you loved my touch, a gentle hand so warm,

You'd beg for every bite I had, safe from every storm.

Your ears would perk at crinkling bags, a sound you knew so well,

A nudge from you, a silent plea, a story it would tell.

Chorus

Oh, Guinness, twelve sweet years, a loyalty so true,

My best companion, always near, my heart belonged to you.

A shadow by my side, a love that won't depart,

Guinness, forever etched within my grateful heart.

Verse 2

In evening's quiet, on the couch, you'd lay right by my side,

And when I'd drive onto the lane, your face I couldn't hide.

Up in the window, watching me, a faithful, loving gaze,

You waited there, for my return, through all our passing days.

Chorus

Oh, Guinness, twelve sweet years, a loyalty so true,

My best companion, always near, my heart belonged to you.

A shadow by my side, a love that won't depart,

Guinness, forever etched within my grateful heart.

Bridge

Thank you, friend, my very best, for loving me each day,

Go find Leroy, across the rest, and run and bark and play.

I've loved you, GG, oh so much, my mama's boy, you'll be,

Always cherished, every touch, a lasting memory.

Banjo Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Guinness, twelve sweet years, a loyalty so true,

My best companion, always near, my heart belonged to you.

A shadow by my side, a love that won't depart,

Guinness, forever etched within my grateful heart.

Outro

Now barking loud, with wagging tail, among the happy pack,

Running free, beyond the veil, there's no more looking back.

Guinness, my boy, at peace you'll be, forever bright and free.

Outro - guitar fade
