THE OLD DOG'S NAME IS CUBBY, EVERYONE KNOWS HER WELL.
        A             
SHE'LL LIE AROUND AND SLEEP ALL DAY
            G               D
BUT YOU'D NEVER HEAR HER WAIL.

      D     
SHE LIVED HERE BEFORE THE CHILDREN CAME,
      G      
A COMPANION WHILE THEY GREW UP.
         A                                 D
SHE IS SO KIND - AND GENTLE - EVEN WHEN SHE WAS A PUP.

        G                 D
     CUBBY IS A DOG  PERFECT ALL THE TIME.
             E                           A
     SHE'LL OBEY AS PERFECTLY - AS IF SHE HAD A HUMAN MIND
               D                       G                 E
     IF YOU TOLD HER TO "STAY," SHE'D BE THERE THE NEXT DAY
             A                                          D
     NOW, CUBBY IS THE PERFECT DOG - PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.


         D              
SHE'LL BARK A LITTLE - TO LET YOU KNOW   
         G
WHEN SOMEONE COMES A-ROUND.
           A 
BUT NOT A SNARL - NOR A GROWL.
       G                     D
NOT EVEN FOR THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUND 


          D        
HER OLD BONES NOW ACHE WITH PAIN,
      G        
AND STAIRS ARE HARD TO CLIMB.
      A          
BUT CUBBY STILL GIVES IT HER ALL,
                  G          D
TO PLAY WITH THE KIDS AT TIMES.





         G                 D

         E                               A

               D                       G                 E
     IF YOU TOLD HER TO "STAY," SHE'D BE THERE THE NEXT DAY

    D                
I KNOW HER DAYS ARE GROWING SHORT.
      G        
HER TIME IS DRAWING NEIGH.
      A                
BUT THAT OLD DOG WILL LIVE RIGHT ON,
         G             D
IN OUR MEMORY AS WE CRY.

      D                          
IF THERE'S A PLACE FOR DOGS IN HEAVEN
  G                     E
CUBBY WILL BE RIGHT THERE.
         A                  G                D       
LOVING EVERYONE SHE MEETS - ON THE GOLDEN STAIRS.
