Ex-[C]cept when [G] it is [D] thun-[G]der. [G]
{eos}
[G] Old dogs lie be-[G]side the door,
they [G] toss and [G] turn and [C] scratch and [D] snore,
[Em] - they fight again their [D] puppy [G] wars
[C] of playful battles [G] rag-[D]ing.
[G] Old dogs lie [G] alone at night,
they [G] tuck their [G] tails, they [C] curl up [D] tight,
[Em] - they howl when moons are [D] full and [G] bright
and re-[C]call when [G] they were [D] lov-[G]ers.
{soc}
[Em] Old dogs have a [D] song to sing,
[C] old dogs like most [G] everything,
they [Em] care not what the [D] weather [G] brings,
Ex-[C]cept when [G] it is [D] thun-[G]der. [G]

{eos}
[G] Old dogs look you [G] in the eye,
they [G] hold your [G] heart, they [C] never [D] lie,
[Em] - they bark at planes up [D] in the [G] sky
and [C] wish that they were [G] fly-[D]ers.
[G] Old dogs dream a-[G]bout the past,
when they [G] frolicked [G] fields of [C] golden [D] grass,
[Em] - and chased the icy [D] winter's [G] blast,
to [C] lie by [G] home fires [D] burn-[G]ing.
{soc}
[Em] Old dogs wander [D] off alone but
[C] old dogs know the [G] way back home,
the [Em] slightest scent, the [D] buried [G] bone,
the [C] hunter [G] home re-[D]turn-[G]ing. [G]

{eos}
[G] Old dogs come and [G] old dogs go,
[G] old dogs [G] always [C] seem to [D] know,
that [Em] love is life's most [D] precious [G] flow
and [C] love is worth the [G] wait-[D]ing.
And [G] when their time on [G] earth is through,
[G] old dogs [G] are for-[C]ever [D] true,
and [Em] 'round the bend they [D] wait for [G] you come
[C] some to-[G]morrow [D] mor-[G]ning.
