Old dogs lie beside the door, they toss and turn and scratch and snore,
E minorEm            D MajorD   G+G  C majorC          G+G D MajorD
 they fight again their puppy wars  of playful battles raging.

Old dogs lie alone at night, they tuck their tails, they curl up tight,
E minorEm             D MajorD    G+G      C majorC     G+G     D MajorD G+G
 they howl when moons are full and bright and recall when they were lovers.

Old dogs have a song to sing, old dogs like most everything,

Old dogs look you in the eye, they hold your heart, they never lie,
E minorEm            D MajorD   G+G    C majorC          G+G D MajorD
 they bark at planes up in the sky and wish that they were fliers.
G+G        G+G            G+G     G/BG/B    C majorC   D MajorD
Old dogs dream about the past when they frolicked fields of golden grass,
E minorEm          D MajorD    G+G     C majorC   G+G     D MajorD G+G
 and chased the icy winter's blast, to lie by home fires burning.

Chorus:
E minorEm       D MajorD       C majorC         G+G
Old dogs wander off alone but old dogs know the way back home,

the slightest scent, the buried bone, the hunter home returning.

that love is life's most precious flow and love is worth the waiting.
  G+G         G+G         G+G    G/BG/B  C majorC  D MajorD
And when their time on earth is through, old dogs are forever true,
