[Verse 1]
    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.
