Intro:
G        G        G        G

Verse 1:
G              G                   G        G/B      C           D
Old dogs lie beside the door, they toss and turn and scratch and snore,
Em                       D     G    C                    G D
  they fight again their puppy wars   of playful battles raging.
G            G                    G          G/B         C       D
Old dogs lie alone at night, they tuck their tails, they curl up tight,
Em                         D        G            C         G         D G
  they howl when moons are full and bright and recall when they were lovers.

Chorus:
Em              D             C                  G
Old dogs have a song to sing, old dogs like most everything,
     Em                        D       G   C         G     D   G
they care not what the weather brings,   except when it is thunder.

Interlude:
G         G         G    G/B    C    D
Em        D    G    C    G      D

Verse 2:
G                 G                G         G/B         C     D
Old dogs look you in the eye, they hold your heart, they never lie,
Em                       D      G       C                   G  D
  they bark at planes up in the sky and wish that they were fliers.
G               G                       G         G/B       C      D
Old dogs dream about the past when they frolicked fields of golden grass,
Em                   D        G         C      G          D  G
  and chased the icy winter's blast, to lie by home fires burning.

Chorus:
Em              D             C                 G
Old dogs wander off alone but old dogs know the way back home,
    Em                   D      G         C      G      D  G
the slightest scent, the buried bone, the hunter home returning.

Interlude:
G         G         G    G/B    C    D
Em        D    G    C    G      D

Solo:
G         G         G    G/B    C    D
Em        D    G    C    G      D    G

Verse 3:
G                 G            G        G/B    C       D
Old dogs come and old dogs go, old dogs always seem to know,
     Em                  D        G        C                 G  D
that love is life's most precious flow and love is worth the waiting.
    G                  G                 G        G/B    C    D
And when their time on earth is through, old dogs are forever true,
     Em                  D        G   C           G      D  G
and 'round the bend they wait for you come some tomorrow morning.

Chorus:
    Em                 D                 C               G
And when their time on earth is through, old dogs are forever true,
     Em                  D        G   C           G      D  G
and 'round the bend they wait for you come some tomorrow morning.

Interlude:
G         G         G    G/B    C    D
Em        D    G    C    G      D

End-Chorus:
    Em                 D                 C               G
And when their time on earth is through, old dogs are forever true,
     Em                  D        G   C           G      D  G
and 'round the bend they wait for you come some tomorrow morning.

Outro:
G         G         G    G/B    C    D
