C                   G  
Well, I just heard the news today  
F                C  
It seems my life is in disarray  
C                       G  
I can't help but recall the time  
F              C  
When I drank watermelon wine  

C                     G  
Old dogs and children and watermelon wine  
F                     C  
Ain't nothin' better in this world of mine  
C                        G  
Old dogs and children and watermelon wine  
F                   C  
Well, I just love the way you shine  

C                 G  
I remember the days gone by  
F                     C  
When laughter filled the air, oh my  
C                    G  
With every sip, I’m taken back  
F                 C  
To the love we shared, never lack  

C                     G  
Old dogs and children and watermelon wine  
F                     C  
Ain't nothin' better in this world of mine  
C                        G  
Old dogs and children and watermelon wine  
F                   C  
Well, I just love the way you shine
