[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][Am]
[F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]How old do you think I am he said
[F]I said well I didn't kno[Dm]w
[G]He said I turned sixty five about
[F]eleven months ago[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]I was sittin' in Miami pourin'
[F]blended whiskey dow[Dm]n
When this [F]old gray [C]black gentleman
[G]was cleanin' up the lou[C]nge
There wasn't anyone around
[F]'cept this old man and [Dm]me
[G]The guy who ran the bar was watching
[F]Iron [G]sides on T[C]V
Uninvited he sat down
and [F]opened up his [Dm]mind
On [F]old [C]dogs and children
[G]and watermelon win[C]e

[Verse 3]
[C]Ever had a drink
of wa[F]termelon wine he [Dm]asked
[G]He told me all about it
though [F]I didn't a[G]nswer b[C]ack
Ain't but three things
in this world that's worth a [F]solitary [Dm]dime
But [F]old [C]dogs and children
[G]and watermelon win[C]e[Ab]

[Verse 4]
He [Db]said women think about they selves
[Gb]when menfolk ain't aroun[Ebm]d
[Ab]And friends are hard to find
when they dis[Gb]cover [Ab]that you're down[Db]
He said I tried it all
when I was young and [Gb]in my natural p[Ebm]rime
Now it's [Gb]old d[Db]ogs and children
[Ab]and watermelon wine[Db]

[Verse 5]
[Db]Old dogs care about you
even [Gb]when you make mis[Ebm]takes
[Ab]God bless little children
while [Gb]they're still too [Ab]young [Db]to hate
When he moved away
I found my pen [Gb]and copied down that [Ebm]line
Bout [Gb]old d[Db]ogs and children
[Ab]and watermelon wine[Db]

[Solo 1]
[Gb][Db][Ab][Bbm][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]I had to catch a plane
up to [G]Atlanta that next [Em]day
[A]As I left for my room
I saw [G]him pickin' [A]up my [D]change
That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep
of [G]shady summer[Em]time
Of [G]old [D]dogs and children
[A]and watermelon win[D]e
