Old Dog Tray

    G               D7
The morn of life is past,
                     G
And evening comes at last;
               Am         G          D7
It brings me a dream of a once happy day,
   G                D7
Of merry forms I've seen
                 G
Upon the village green,
Am               G   D7  G
Sporting with my old dog Tray.

[Chorus]
D7                  G
Old dog Tray's ever faithful,
D7                      G
Grief cannot drive him away,
                   D7
He's gentle, he is kind;
                  G
I'll never, never find
  Am                 G   D7  G
A better friend than old dog Tray.

[Verse 2]
    G                 D7
The forms I called my own
                     G
Have vanished one by one,
                    Am             G          D7
The loved ones, the dear ones have all passed away,
      G                 D7
Their happy smiles have flown,
                    G
Their gentle voices gone;
     Am               G   D7  G
I've nothing left but old dog Tray.

[Chorus]
D7                  G
Old dog Tray's ever faithful,
D7                      G
Grief cannot drive him away,
                   D7
He's gentle, he is kind;
                  G
I'll never, never find
  Am                 G   D7  G
A better friend than old dog Tray.

[Verse 3]
     G                   D7
When thoughts recall the past
                   G
His eyes are on me cast;
               Am            G                    D7
I know that he feels what my breaking heart would say;
  G                D7
Although he cannot speak
                    G
I'll vainly, vainly seek
  Am                 G   D7  G
A better friend than old dog Tray.

[Chorus]
D7                  G
Old dog Tray's ever faithful,
D7                      G
Grief cannot drive him away,
                   D7
He's gentle, he is kind;
                  G
I'll never, never find
  Am                 G   D7  G
A better friend than old dog Tray.
