Tyger

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember those first days, small and bright,

Jumping on the bed with all your might.

Little paws would click across the floor,

Then scratch impatiently upon the door.

You’d make grandpa drive you, a tiny king,

The sweetest joy your presence used to bring.

Chorus

Oh, Tyger, my faithful, furry friend,

Sixteen and a half years 'til the very end.

A love like yours, so pure and true,

Our hearts will always yearn for you.

Verse 2

We walked the park, no hurry in our stride,

With you always right there by my side.

Every rustling leaf, a brand new treat,

The rhythm of your happy, trotting feet.

A silent comfort, walking through the days,

Your gentle spirit in so many ways.

Chorus

Oh, Tyger, my faithful, furry friend,

Sixteen and a half years 'til the very end.

A love like yours, so pure and true,

Our hearts will always yearn for you.

Bridge

The quiet promise, whispered soft and low,

"We'll be together soon, little man, you know."

Across the bridge, where peace begins to bloom,

You'll light the way and banish every gloom.

Instrumental - banjo, harmonica

Final Chorus

Oh, Tyger, my faithful, furry friend,

Sixteen and a half years 'til the very end.

A love like yours, so pure and true,

Our hearts will always yearn for you.

Outro

I see you by the window, ever so still,

Patiently waiting for us, come what will.

A peaceful dream, a silent, loving sleep,

In our hearts, your memory we'll always keep.

Outro - guitar fade
